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.

Reference tool. Values are typical for the grade and condition stated and vary by supplier, temper and batch — they are reference data, not a specification. The Material Test Report supplied with your order is the governing document for the material actually used. Figures are provided in good faith for early design guidance and are not a substitute for the published standard or your own engineering judgement. Always verify against the controlled standard and your drawing before manufacture. If a feature is critical, tell us at quotation stage and we'll confirm it explicitly.
