What Are Aluminium 1100 Plates and Blocks?
Aluminium 1100 plates and blocks are widely recognized for their superior corrosion resistance, making them suitable for applications exposed to moisture or harsh environments. Their corrosion protection stems from aluminum's unique ability to form protective oxide layers when exposed to oxygen, providing durable resilience even in harsh conditions.
Aluminium 1100 has excellent machinability, providing easier shaping, cutting, and forming processes than many other metals. This property makes Aluminium 1100 ideal for industries which demand precise designs with intricate details, plus its softness and workability enable efficient machining without compromising structural integrity, making Aluminium 1100 an appealing material option when seeking easy processing capabilities.
Aluminium 1100 is highly weldable, providing seamless joining capabilities between metals through various welding techniques. Its compatibility with these processes also enables flexible fabrication techniques allowing complex structures and assemblies to be produced easily, an attribute which further demonstrates its utility for industries demanding robust joining capabilities for various purposes.
Aluminium 1100 plates and blocks find widespread application across numerous industries, from aerospace to automotive to construction to electronics. Thanks to its corrosion-resistance, machinability, weldability properties it serves a range of structural and decorative uses ranging from aircraft components to architectural trim, offering engineers reliable yet cost-effective engineering solutions for diverse engineering challenges.
Aluminium 1100 plates and blocks find applications in heat exchangers, chemical equipment and marine components due to their corrosion-resistance properties. Furthermore, their excellent formability and conductivity enable signage, reflectors and electrical conductors to use this material effectively as formable formwork, additionally it's used in transportation vehicles like trucks and trailers where lightweight yet sturdy construction are key factors.

Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
Forming
Most cast steel is formed by hot rolling—the slab, bloom, or billet is heated and passed through large rollers, stretching out the steel into a longer, thinner form.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment strengthens rolled steel by recrystallizing the deformed microstructure. Most steel is heat treated by annealing.
Cutting or Machining
Steel is cut to a specified shape and size. The steel can be sheared with circular knives, sawed with high-speed blades, or blanked with punches.
Finishing
Steels can be made with a wide variety of surface finishes. The chosen surface finish is not purely aesthetic. The type of finish is determined by the intended application.
