Art and Decoration: Art and Decoration: The reflective and malleable properties of 1200 aluminum make it suitable for art and decoration.
1. O Temper (Annealed):
Application Fields: The "O" temper is the softest and stands for "annealed." Aluminum in the O temper has been heated and then rapidly cooled, which results in the softest and most ductile condition. The characteristic of this temper is low strength but high formability. It is suitable for applications where the aluminum needs to be easily formed or shaped.
Deep Drawing: The O temper is the softest and most formable, making it ideal for deep drawing applications. It is commonly used in the production of kitchenware, including pots, pans, and baking sheets, where shaping and forming are essential.
Reflective Surfaces: O temper aluminum is suitable for applications that require highly reflective surfaces, such as reflectors for lighting fixtures and solar panels.
2. H1x Tempers (Strain-Hardened):
Application Fields: The "H" temper designations indicate that the aluminum has undergone strain hardening or cold working processes. The number following the "H" (e.g., H12, H14, H16) indicates the level of strain hardening and the resulting hardness and strength. These tempers are progressively more rigid and robust than the O temper while maintaining good formability. The specific properties vary depending on the number.
Packaging: Packaging materials like foil and containers use H12, H14, and H16 tempers for their formability and moderate strength.
Signage: Signage and nameplates where durability and the ability to emboss or engrave are required need these tempers
HVAC Components: H12 and H14 are suitable for manufacturing HVAC components, including ductwork and heat exchanger fins, due to their ability to form complex shapes.
3. H18 Temper:
Application Fields: H18 has a more rigid temper than H16, indicating that the aluminum has undergone further cold work to increase its strength and hardness. Commonly, applications requiring higher power while maintaining reasonable formability use it.
Heat Exchanger Fins: For heat exchanger fins with higher strength and durability to withstand pressure and thermal cycling, choose H18.
Automotive Radiators: Manufacture automotive radiators to improve heat dissipation can use it.
4.H19 Temper:
Application Fields: H19 is another strain-hardened temper even harder than H18. It offers higher strength but reduced formability compared to lower tempers.
Aerospace Components: H19's high strength, along with some formability, can be beneficial in aerospace applications for non-structural components, such as panels and covers
Electronic Enclosures: 1200 aluminum is a solid and protective material that engineers use in electronic enclosures.
5.H22 and H24 Tempers:
Application Fields: These tempers are similar to H12 and H14, respectively, but with controlled strain hardening to improve formability while maintaining moderate strength.
Roofing and Cladding: Apply H22 and H24 tempers in architectural roofing and cladding because of their balance of formability and strength.
Electrical Enclosures: These tempers are suitable for electrical enclosures that require a combination of durability and form various shapes ability.
6.H26 and H28 Tempers:
Application Fields: These tempers are similar to H16 and H18, respectively, with controlled strain hardening for improved formability while achieving higher strength.
Automotive Structural Components: Use H26 and H28 in automotive structural components like body panels and chassis parts that demand higher strength and limited formability.
Pressure Vessels: They may be used to construct pressure vessels where strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
7. F Temper (As-Fabricated):
Application Fields: The "F" temper represents the as-fabricated condition, meaning the aluminum has not undergone any special heat treatment or cold working. It typically applies to products that are formed and shaped during manufacturing but do not receive additional tempering treatments.
Architectural Elements: Because F temper maintains its original shape without further heat treatment, commonly, decorative trim, façades, and interior design features use it.
Interior Design: Use 1200 aluminum in internal design applications such as wall panels and decorative elements.
