Aluminum 1080-H112 vs 1080-H14
Aluminum · 1080 temper comparison
1080-H112 and 1080-H14 are two conditions of the same aluminum grade, 1080: H112 (strain hardened from hot working only) versus H14 (strain hardened, half hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. 1080-H14 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 85 MPa (12.3 ksi) against 30 MPa (4.35 ksi) for 1080-H112, about 183% more; tensile strength follows at 105 MPa (15.2 ksi) vs 75 MPa (10.9 ksi). In exchange, 1080-H112 is the more ductile: elongation 26% versus 9% for 1080-H14, and 1080-H14 is harder (28 HB vs 21 HB). 1080-H112 runs hotter in service (150°C vs 100°C continuous).
1080-H112Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
1080-H14Choose it when strength drives the design.
1080-H112 vs 1080-H14: 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.
