A highly sought after alloy, Aluminum 1100 offers excellent machinability as well as maintaining strength in low temperatures and electrical conductivity. There are a number of commercial and industrial applications, for Aluminum 1100 that include:

• Fin stock
• Heat exchanger fins
• Spun hollowware
• Dials and nameplates
• Giftware
• Shapes for engraving and stamping
• Lightweight tools
• Food containers
• Household foil
• Cooking utensils
• Rivets
• Sheet metal work
