High content material aluminum alloys, on occasion called EC (electrically conduction) at times, both comprise no less than 99.5% and are extra electrically conductive than other a thousand series aluminum. Those are favored alloys in the transformer and switch gear markets, as they provide the most cost-efficient conductive alloy within the one thousand series. Despite the fact that other aluminum items have higher aluminum content, maximum discover those alloys as difficult to source and are exponentially more highly-priced than the 1350 and 1050 alloys.
Reading the text: “High content material aluminum alloys” means high-purity aluminium: both 1350 and 1050 contain at least 99.5% aluminium. “Exponentially more highly-priced” means much more expensive. Price depends on alloy, thickness and quantity.
Those two objects do have one particular difference in where the chemical composition of 1050 has a max has a slightly better max on its silicon content than 1350. It's a completely small distinction and they're each gift as most values, but there may be a completely small distinction that could affect critical programs.
Standard Specs: QQA-1876, ASTM B479
Standards: QQ-A-1876 and ASTM B479 appear to be specifications for aluminium foil, not plate. Ask for the specification that applies to the product form you need, and state it in your enquiry.
1350 Aluminium Plates: Purchasing Specification

How the Eighteen Aluminium Alloys Differ
The eighteen pages cover aluminium alloys from several families. The 1xxx, 3xxx and 5xxx alloys are non-heat-treatable and gain strength by cold work, while the 2xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx alloys are heat-treatable. The 5xxx magnesium alloys are the usual marine and welded-structure choice; the 2xxx and 7xxx alloys are the high-strength aerospace alloys.
| Alloy | Family and hardening | Typical use (from the pages) |
|---|---|---|
| 1050A | 1xxx pure aluminium (99.5%), non-heat-treatable | General sheet-metal work, packaging, heat transfer, kitchenware |
| 1350 (this page) | 1xxx electrical-grade aluminium (99.5% min), non-heat-treatable | Transformer and switchgear conductors |

1350 Aluminium Plates: Frequently Asked Questions
01What is 1350 Aluminium Plates?
1350 is an electrical-grade (EC) aluminium of at least 99.5% purity, the most economical conductive alloy in the 1000 series, used in transformer and switchgear conductors.
02What is 1350 aluminium?
An electrical-conductor (EC) grade with at least 99.5% aluminium, more electrically conductive than the other 1000-series alloys.
03How does 1350 differ from 1050?
The page says the compositions are close; 1050 allows a slightly higher silicon maximum (0.25% against 0.10% for 1350).
