Aluminum 1080-H111 vs 1080-H112
Aluminum · 1080 temper comparison
1080-H111 and 1080-H112 are two conditions of the same aluminum grade, 1080: H111 (slightly strain hardened) versus H112 (strain hardened from hot working only). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 1080-H112 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 30 MPa (4.35 ksi) against 28 MPa (4.06 ksi) for 1080-H111, about 7% more. In exchange, 1080-H111 is the more ductile: elongation 38% versus 26% for 1080-H112.
1080-H111Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
1080-H112Choose it when strength drives the design.
1080-H111 vs 1080-H112: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all aluminum grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
