Aluminum Alloy 1050 Foil Description

A high-content aluminum alloy such as alloy number 1050 is sometimes referred to as EC (electrically conduction) at times. Aluminum Alloy 1050 Foil contains a minimum of 99.5% aluminum and is more electrically conductive than other 1000 aluminum series alloys. 1050 Aluminum Alloy Foils are preferred in the transformer and switchgear markets, as they offer the most economical conductive alloy in the 1000 series. Although other aluminum items have higher aluminum content, most find those alloys as difficult to source and are exponentially more expensive than the 1350 and 1050 alloys. These two items do have one specific difference in that the chemical composition of 1050 has a slightly higher max on its Silicon content than 1350. It’s a very small difference and they are both present as maximum values, but there is a very small difference that could affect critical applications.
