Service Life of 1100 Aluminum Coils and Reasons for Choosing Zhongfu Aluminum
Dec 15, 2025



There is no fixed standard for the service life of 1100 aluminum coils, as it is affected by multiple factors. The specific details are as follows:

1. Service Environment

Indoor dry environment: When used indoors with stable temperature and humidity, and without corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis, 1100 aluminum coils can be protected by the naturally formed oxide film on the surface, with a service life of more than 20 years.

Outdoor or humid environment: Long-term exposure to outdoor conditions or high-humidity, high-salt environments (such as coastal areas) can accelerate the oxidation and corrosion of aluminum coils, shortening their service life to 5-10 years or even shorter.

Chemical corrosion environment: Contact with chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts will cause chemical reactions with aluminum coils, leading to performance degradation. The service life may be only 1-3 years, depending on the concentration of the chemical substances and the contact time.

2. Surface Treatment Methods

Untreated aluminum coils: 1100 aluminum coils used directly have a relatively fast surface oxidation rate, and their appearance and performance are significantly affected.

Anodized aluminum coils: Anodized aluminum coils form a denser oxide film on the surface, which greatly improves corrosion resistance and wear resistance, extending the service life to more than 30 years.

Painted or sprayed aluminum coils: Applying protective paint or spray coatings can effectively isolate air and moisture, further extending the service life to 20-30 years, depending on the coating quality and environmental conditions.

3. Usage Frequency and Wear Level

    When used in occasions with frequent friction and collision (such as mechanical parts, decorative surfaces), aluminum coils may experience performance degradation due to wear and scratches, and the service life may be shortened to 5-10 years.

    When used in static or low-wear scenarios (such as thermal insulation layers, decorative panels), the service life can approach the theoretical upper limit with proper maintenance.

    In summary, the service life of 1100 aluminum coils can reach 20-30 years under ideal conditions, but may be only 1-5 years in harsh environments or high-wear scenarios. The actual service life needs to be comprehensively judged based on specific usage conditions and maintenance.
