Louis Metals boasts precision-engineered products made to order, catering to specific client requirements. Their experience spans decades and they are known to be customer-friendly. They are the best aluminium forging solutions in the USA.
Aluminium 1100 Forgings This alloy has 99% of pure aluminum in it. However, it does contain small proportions of copper in the range of 0.05-0.2%, iron 0.95%, silicon 0.25%, manganese 0.05-0.2%, magnesium 0.05%, and zinc 0.1%. The excellent corrosion resistance, along with high thermal and electrical conductivity and good workability, is ensured by this composition. The mechanical properties include tensile strength of 110-180 MPa, yield strength of 70 MPa, and an elongation of 30-40%. It has a Brinell hardness of 30-35 HB. It is good for use where high formability and good resistance to corrosion are needed but less strength is desirable than with other alloys.

Aluminium 1100 Forgings find their place in various industries that value corrosion resistance, thermal efficiency, and lightweight performance. Common applications include heat exchangers, HVAC equipment, components for food and chemical processing, light-duty structural parts, signage, and reflectors. In electrical systems, 1100 is often selected for its excellent conductivity and non-sparking properties. Thanks to its exceptional formability and non-toxic nature, it’s also a great fit for a wide range of applications.
