What is 1050 Aluminum Foil?
1050 aluminum foil is an aluminum foil made from alloy 1050, a commercially pure aluminum alloy containing 99.5% aluminum. It is known for its high purity and softness.
Since 1050 aluminum foil does not need to add other chemical elements, the production process of 1050 aluminum foil is simple, and the price is relatively cheap compared with alloy aluminum sheets. It is a very widely used aluminum foil.
With decades of experience in aluminum foil production, Haomei Aluminum can produce and supply high-quality aluminum foil in different sizes and states.

Feature of 1050 Aluminum Foil
The main properties of 1050 aluminum foil include high purity, softness, flexibility, good electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.
Due to its high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and processability,
- Good Conductivity : Due to its high purity, 1050 aluminum has excellent conductivity. It is used in applications where electrical conductivity is important, such as cables and capacitors.
- Thermal Conductivity : It has good thermal conductivity, suitable for cooking and as a heat insulation material.
- Corrosion Resistance : In general, aluminum has good corrosion resistance and alloy 1050 is no exception. It can withstand the effects of moisture and many chemicals without corroding.
Typical 1050 Aluminum Foil
When Aluminum Alloy 1050 is used specifically as aluminum foil, the commonly used temper is usually the "O" temper, and to a lesser extent the "H18" temper. These tempering temperatures are selected based on the properties required for the foil application :
1050 O Aluminum Foil
The "O" temper is the most common temper for 1050 aluminum foil.
1050 O is fully annealed, making the foil very soft and easy to process.
1050 O Aluminum Foil is suitable for applications where flexibility and formability are critical, such as packaging and wrapping.
1050 H18 Aluminum Foil
The "H18" temper represents an all-hard temper, which provides increased strength and stability compared to the soft "O" temper.
1050 H18 Aluminum Foil is available for applications requiring a stiffer, stronger foil.
These are the primary tempers used when aluminum alloy 1050 is specifically used in the form of aluminum foil. The choice between "O" and "H18" depends on the specific requirements of the foil application, with "O" being the more common choice for its soft and flexible properties.
