The material 1050A is a 1000 series aluminum alloy. It is considered commercially pure and is formulated for primary forming into wrought products. 1050A is the Aluminum Association designation for this material. In European standards it is specified as EN AW-1050A.
Alloy 1050A is known for its electrical conductivity and can be used for: automotive panels, chemical and food industry equipment, light reflectors and strips for heat exchangers. Aluminum perforated sheets marked EN AW-1050A are characterized by good formability and weldability properties.
Aluminum alloy 1050A has moderate strength and can be used in extrusions where high ductility and corrosion resistance are important. 1050 has low mechanical strength compared to more heavily alloyed metals but it can be strengthened by cold working but not heat treated.
