1050A H14 — Machining & Properties
Typical properties, what 1050A H14 is like on a machine tool, what it gets used for, and the tolerance and finishes we hold on it — from a shop that actually machines it, not a datasheet aggregator. Every figure here drives our own calculators.
Machining 1050A H14
Machinability is rated excellent — one of the friendlier materials on a machine tool — expect efficient cycle times and good surface finish at sensible cost. Aluminium has a high thermal expansion coefficient (~23 × 10⁻⁶ /°C). On large features, allow parts and tooling to reach thermal equilibrium before inspection.
Our standard achievable tolerance on 1050A H14 is ±0.010mm under normal conditions, with tighter tolerances on critical features agreed at quotation. Standard finishes: As machined, Anodise Type II. Full material traceability with MTR and CoC documentation on every order.
Typical applications
Electrical busbars, reflectors, heat exchangers, food contact.

1050A H14 — FAQ
What is the density of 1050A H14?
2.71 g/cm³ (typical). That is 2710 kg/m³ — our metal weight calculator uses exactly this figure for 1050A H14.
What is the tensile strength of 1050A H14?
Typically 105 MPa. Treat it as a typical value, not a specification — the Material Test Report supplied with your order states the actual certified figures for the batch.
Is 1050A H14 easy to machine?
Its machinability is rated excellent — one of the friendlier materials on a machine tool — expect efficient cycle times and good surface finish at sensible cost.
What is 1050A H14 used for?
Typical applications: Electrical busbars, reflectors, heat exchangers, food contact.
What tolerance can be held when machining 1050A H14?
Our standard achievable tolerance on 1050A H14 is ±0.010mm under normal conditions (ISO 2768-f general tolerancing). Tighter tolerances on critical features can be agreed at quotation for specific geometries.
Can Dalloway machine 1050A H14?
Yes — we machine 1050A H14 in-house on 3, 4 and 5-axis milling and CNC turning, from single prototypes to production, with MTR and CoC documentation standard. Typical finishes: As machined, Anodise Type II.
