Aluminum
Aluminium 1100
1100 identifies commercially pure wrought aluminium, not a temper.
Identity / state reference
What distinguishes this material
Tube/pipe data cannot establish the properties of every sheet or bar sold as 1100.
- Designation in this reference
- 1100
- Forms covered by the sources
- Tube
- Pipe
- States to distinguish or confirm
- Temper must be confirmed from the product certificate
- Temperature and exposure
- No general service-temperature limit or temperature-independent strength is established by this page. Check the temperature and duration for the specific source table and application.
Property evidence for a stated condition
No condition-specific numerical table is reproduced here
The linked sources establish the identity and the stated product/state scope. Obtain the row for your actual form, section, treatment and test conditions before adopting strength, hardness or a thermal limit.
Resolve these conditions next
- Is the stock annealed or work-hardened, and which tube/pipe specification controls it?
- Obtain the full material certificate, governing specification/edition, product dimensions and test direction before adopting a property value.
For machining, take the exact grade, supplied condition and measured hardness where applicable into the tool maker’s application data. A generic material-family speed is not a substitute for an operation and tool-specific recommendation.
Sources and what they establish
Reviewed 23 October 2026. A source’s publication date and the review date are different. The scope below identifies the fields checked.
Kaiser Aluminum — 1100 Tube and Pipe
Tube and pipe; alloy identity and temper-specific typical properties.
Kaiser Aluminum — 1100 Tube and Pipe ↗Source identity, a named product example and a supplied-batch certificate are different evidence. Cross-standard similarity does not approve substitution.
Corrections from the previous article
- Remove the unqualified 45 HB and 90 MPa pair and the claim of universally best properties.
- Remove the untraceable generic machining recommendation (400 %) and cutting-speed ranges; select machining data by actual material condition, tool and operation.
