Classification

| EN ISO class | EN ISO 18273 (2016) : Al1080A - Al99,8(A) |
Purpose
- The highest-purity aluminum wire in this datasheet (99.8% Al), with no alloying elements.
- Exclusively for joining high-purity pure-aluminum alloys.
Why it works
As the highest-purity wire in this datasheet's ALU 1xxx family (99.8% versus ALU 1070's 99.7%), it preserves unalloyed aluminum's properties to the maximum — the specific choice when the part demands the highest achievable conductivity or corrosion resistance within this line.
Fields of application
- Joining high-purity aluminum alloys where conductivity or corrosion resistance is critical.
- Parts where even ALU 1070's purity (99.7%) isn't enough.

Advantages
- Highest purity in this datasheet (99.8% Al) — maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- No alloying elements that could compromise these properties.
Limitations
- Very low mechanical strength (Rm 80 MPa) — not suitable for any structural application.
- Supplier datasheet gives no application data beyond joining equivalent pure-aluminum alloys.
