Hemi Metals is a top-notch forging manufacturer and supplier located in Hamilton, New Zealand, specializing in high-quality Aluminium 1100 Forgings. These forgings are crafted for exceptional workability, corrosion resistance, and precise dimensional stability. Aluminium 1100 is a commercially pure grade celebrated for its remarkable formability, weldability, and lightweight nature. At Hemi Metals, we utilize advanced techniques to ensure our forged products boast an excellent surface finish, consistent quality, and tailored shapes that meet industrial needs. We cater to a variety of sectors, including electrical, chemical, marine, food processing, architectural, and general engineering, guaranteeing reliable performance, cost-effectiveness, and long-lasting durability in environments that demand purity and corrosion resistance.
Aluminium 1100 Forgings are made up of at least 99% aluminum, with trace amounts of copper, silicon, zinc, and iron. This high-purity alloy is known for its impressive thermal and electrical conductivity, exceptional corrosion resistance, and remarkable ductility. With a tensile strength typically between 90 to 130 MPa and an elongation capacity of 25–35%, Aluminium 1100 can be easily forged and shaped into complex designs without the risk of cracking. While it can’t be heat-treated for added strength, its ability to work harden and perform well in low-temperature conditions makes it ideal for lightweight fabrication applications.

Aluminum 1100 forging allows custom shapes like rings, discs, bars, flanges, stepped shafts, and intricate profiles, ideal for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications requiring high corrosion resistance and ductility.
Aluminum 1100 is unsuitable for high-temperature forging applications due to its low melting point and poor strength at elevated temperatures, making it better suited for cold working or low-temperature uses.
Aluminum 1100 offers excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, good thermal conductivity, lightweight properties, and exceptional workability, making it ideal for custom forgings requiring precise shapes and resistance to harsh environments.
Aluminium 1100 Forgings find extensive use in areas where high ductility, corrosion resistance, and conductivity are essential. They’re commonly utilized in electrical components like bus bars, connectors, terminals, and conductor plates thanks to their outstanding electrical conductivity. In the food and chemical processing sectors, they’re favored for storage tanks, valves, and fittings, ensuring reliability and efficiency in various applications.
