Contact us1100 is a commercially pure aluminium grade offering excellent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. This guide explores its typical uses and CNC machining potential.
Aluminium 1100 is a typical industrial pure aluminium alloy. It has excellent corrosion resistance and benefits from increased strength at low temperatures but is not suitable for use at higher temperatures as strength is compromised.
Aluminium 1100 is not suitable for heat treatment other than to produce the annealed form and ‘O’ temper.

Selecting the appropriate material and grade is among the important early decisions you'll make when designing your CNC machined component. In this blog we look at the most common grades of aluminium, one of the most versatile metals, and the factors to consider to select the best grade for your next project.
