Help on Aluminum
(OP)
Hi there.
I have this question that is really haunting me:
What's the main difference between Aluminum 1100H-14 and 1200H-14?
Is there a place on the web where I could find nomenclature tips?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Help on Aluminum
Don't know if this is much help, but I offer the following:
First digit is alloy type: 1 indicates 99.00 or greater purity of aluminum
Last two digits, for 1000 series indicates the nearest hundreth of aluminum purity. (1130 would be 99.30% pure)
Second digit indicates "special control" of an impurity. Whether that major impurity is iron or silicon, or something else I do not know.
A few web-sites to consider might be:
www.naad.org
www.aluminum.org
A book I use for reference is "Structure and Properties of Engineering Alloys" by William F. Smith
Machinery's Handbook also has some good information also.

RE: Help on Aluminum
But the second digit info is the one Im looking.
Still, your info on the last two digits has helped me a lot.
Thanks again.
