1050 Aluminum Sheet & Coil

The 1050 listing on the supplier's coil-strip site covers 1050 (1050A) as coil strip and sheet: tempers H0, H12, H14, H16, H18, H22, H24 and H26; thickness 0.2–6.0 mm; width 80–2300 mm. The listing names mother coil in DC or CC form, coil inside diameters of 76, 152, 408 and 508 mm, and surfaces in mill finish, mirror finish and checkered finish. It is also one of the grades named in the circle plate range (1050 circles) and in the polished sheet listing on the storefront.

As a 1xxx grade, 1050 is chosen where corrosion resistance, formability and surface quality matter more than strength: cookware circles, cap closure stock (the cap closure family lists 1050 among its alloys on the English site), lighting and general sheet metal work. The published circle range includes 1050 by name, and the transformer strip programme on the full-range site also lists 1050 alongside 1060, 1070 and 1350 — the electrical uses of the 1xxx family overlap, and the grade pages for 1100 and 1350 cover the neighbouring listings.

One caution for 1xxx ordering: the named grade listings each publish the same figures (0.2–6.0 mm, 80–2300 mm) — the 1050, 1060, 1100 and 3003 listings among them — but the grades are not interchangeable in an order, and those shared figures do not extend to grades whose listings publish different data (1350, for example, publishes 0.2–4.0 mm, 30–1300 mm and a 2-ton minimum). The quotation follows the grade page you name — if your drawing says 1050A, quote 1050; if it says 1060, use the 1060 listing's own figures and tolerance statement.

Ordering 1050

A 1050 enquiry should name the temper as precisely as the dimension. The published temper set runs from H0 (annealed) through the H1x and H2x series, and the difference between H14 and H24 — same hardness route, different anneal-back — decides how the sheet behaves in a draw or a bend. If the part is drawn, say how deep; if it is spun or polished, say so: the listing offers mill, mirror and checkered surfaces, and the surface choice belongs in the first message, not after the price. Packing follows the grade listings — export standard on wooden pallets or cases, eye to sky or eye to wall for coil — and the mill test certificate is among the documents the listings name, along with Form E, Form A and CO certificates of origin.

Buyers often pair a 1050 order with circles from the same grade: the circle plate list names 1050 explicitly, so coil, sheet and circles in 1050 can be quoted together with consistent temper choices across the three forms. Mention all three forms in one enquiry if that is the programme — it keeps the temper and surface decisions in one conversation.
