Aluminium 1100 Tubing

Aluminium 1100 tubing is commonly used in many industries, such as automotive and aerospace. Its chemical composition predominantly consists of 99% aluminium and up to 0.12% copper. The remainder is composed of trace elements such as silicon, iron, manganese, zinc and titanium, which all combine to add strength and durability to the tubing. Aluminium 1100 tubing is very light and strong, making it a great material for many applications, from fuel systems to aircraft fabrication. Additionally, its corrosion resistance ensures that parts built with Aluminum 1100 can last for years with minimal upkeep required.

Aluminium 1100 tubing offers unique advantages for various projects. It is an asset in many commercial and industrial applications since it is easily formed, has excellent weldability, and does not harden with heat treatments. The most outstanding characteristic of Aluminium 1100 tubing is its lightweight compared to other metals. Furthermore, it doesn’t corrode with regular contact with water or air like other materials. It also has excellent reflectivity, making it a suitable choice for lighting applications by reflecting off the surrounding area. Its strength makes it popular in construction projects; Also, due to its corrosion resistance, 1100 Aluminium tube is used in outdoor and marine applications such as structures exposed to snow, salt spray or fog daily.
