1100-H14 Aluminum alloy,Aluminum 1100-H14 alloy,E FORU

### **1100-H14 Aluminum Alloy Product Introduction** **1. Overview** 1100-H14 is a strain-hardened temper of the commercially pure 1100 aluminum alloy, representing a half-hard condition. The "H14" temper designation indicates that the material has been strain-hardened to achieve a strength level approximately halfway between the O (annealed) temper and H18 (full-hard) temper. This temper offers an excellent combination of moderate strength and good formability, making it one of the most versatile and widely used tempers for general-purpose applications in various industries. **2.
