Equivalent material to aluminium / aluminum 1200 alloy is

  • Al 99.0
  • Alcoa-102
  • BA 99.0%
  • Star-99.2
  • Duricilium-T (99.0%)
  • Hiduminium-1C.

Fabrication

Aluminium / aluminum 1200 alloy is readily weldable by MIG and TIG methods. The commonly used filler metals are aluminium / aluminum 1050 and 4043 alloys. Inert gas welding is more suitable than gas or resistance welding as the resultant product is stronger and more corrosion resistant. This alloy has very good workability.

Applications

Aluminium / aluminum 1200 alloy is used in the following areas:

  • Construction and roofing
  • Holloware
  • Equipment and containers for food and chemical industries
  • Ship building
  • Fin-stocks
  • Bottle caps
  • Automobiles
  • Furniture and lighting
  • Sounding boards
  • Conductive materials
