What Material is 1100 H12?

1100 H12 refers to an aluminum alloy with the designation 1100 and the temper designation H12. Let's break down what these designations mean:

1100 h12 aluminum is an aluminum alloy that belongs to the 1000 series of aluminum grades. "1100" indicates the purity of the aluminum as it is 99% aluminum. "H12" refers to the hardness of aluminum, which represents the hardness and machinability of the material.

1100 h12 Aluminum Sheet

The h12 temper is a strain hardening (cold worked) temper, which means that the aluminum plate or sheet has undergone a strain hardening process to increase its strength. This state provides moderate strength and good formability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

1100: This is an aluminum alloy, and the number 1100 specifically refers to the Aluminum Association's classification system. In this system, the first digit (1 in this case) represents the major alloying element, which is pure aluminum (99.00% minimum aluminum content). So, 1100 is essentially pure aluminum.

H12: The "H12" designation represents the temper or hardness of the aluminum. In the temper designation, the "H" stands for "strain-hardened, " and the number "12" indicates the specific level of hardness. H12 is a designation indicating that the aluminum has undergone a certain amount of strain hardening to achieve its properties.

In the case of 1100 H12 aluminum, it is a strain-hardened pure aluminum alloy with a specific level of hardness. This type of aluminum is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and good workability. It is often used in applications where these properties are desirable, such as in electrical conductors, heat exchangers, and various forms of sheet metal work. However, it is not as strong as some other aluminum alloys and may not be suitable for high-stress applications.

1100 h12 Aluminum Plate Weight

The weight of an aluminum plate, including an aluminum alloy like 1100-H12, can vary depending on its dimensions (length, width, and thickness). To calculate the weight of an aluminum plate, you can use the following formula:

Weight (in pounds) = Length (inches) x Width (inches) x Thickness (inches) x Density of Aluminum (in pounds per cubic inch)

For aluminum 1100-H12, the density is approximately 0.098 pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³).

If you have the dimensions of the plate, you can plug them into the formula to calculate the weight. For example, if you have a plate that is 24 inches in length, 12 inches in width, and 0.25 inches in thickness:

Weight = 24 inches x 12 inches x 0.25 inches x 0.098 lb/in³ = 70.56 pounds

So, an 1100-H12 aluminum plate with these dimensions would weigh approximately 70.56 pounds.
