ER1100
Alloy Type: A5.10, ALUMINUM AND ALUMINUM ALLOY Electrodes and Rods
ER1100 is highly resistant to chemical attack and weathering. It is a relatively soft alloy that is very formable and is used extensively in thin gauge and foil products. It has good wetting characteristics and it is also used as a filler alloy for welding purposes. A desirable characteristic of the alloy is the bright finishes obtained by anodizing.
Typical Applications: heat exchanges; food handling equipment; rivets; tie wire; metalizing
