1100 Aluminum Plate for EV Charging Piles: High-Performance Material for Green Energy Infrastructure

EV charging piles are critical infrastructure for the rapid development of electric vehicles, requiring materials that balance corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and structural stability. 1100 aluminum plate for EV charging piles has become the preferred choice due to its high purity, excellent processability, and cost-effectiveness. Henan Mingtai Aluminum Co, Ltd. (stock code: 601677), a leading aluminum processor with over 20 years of experience, produces premium 1100 aluminum plates that meet the strict operational and environmental requirements of EV charging piles.​

1. Core Advantages of 1100 Aluminum Plate for EV Charging Piles​

1100 aluminum plate, a 1-series industrial pure aluminum alloy (aluminum content ≥99.0%), possesses properties perfectly aligned with EV charging pile needs:​

Superior Corrosion Resistance for Outdoor Use: Most EV charging piles are installed outdoors, exposed to rain, humidity, road salts, and UV radiation. 1100 aluminum plate forms a dense, self-repairing oxide layer on its surface, which resists rust, pitting, and chemical erosion. Unlike low-grade steel that requires frequent painting, 1100 aluminum plate maintains structural integrity for 15-20 years without additional anti-corrosion treatments—ideal for charging pile casings and mounting brackets. Mingtai’s 1100 aluminum plate passes 1500-hour salt spray tests with no visible degradation.​

Excellent Electrical Conductivity for Current Transmission: Charging piles require materials with reliable electrical conductivity for internal wiring terminals and busbars. 1100 aluminum plate has an electrical conductivity of ≥55% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), ensuring efficient current transmission with minimal energy loss. This is critical for fast-charging piles, where stable conductivity directly impacts charging speed and safety.​

High Formability for Customized Charging Pile Designs: EV charging piles come in diverse shapes (wall-mounted, floor-standing, compact) to fit different scenarios (residential areas, highways, parking lots). 1100 aluminum plate in O or H14 temper has exceptional ductility (elongation ≥20% for O temper), allowing it to be bent, stamped, and welded into complex components—such as curved casings or precision-fitted internal supports—without cracking. Mingtai’s precise rolling process ensures uniform thickness (tolerance ±0.03mm), guaranteeing consistent forming results.​

2. Key Applications of 1100 Aluminum Plate in EV Charging Piles​

1100 aluminum plate’s versatility makes it suitable for multiple critical components of EV charging piles:​

Charging Pile Casings: The outer casing needs to protect internal electronics from weather and impact. 1100 aluminum plate’s combination of corrosion resistance and moderate strength (tensile strength 110-140 MPa for H14 temper) provides robust protection while remaining lightweight (30% lighter than steel casings), reducing installation difficulty.​

Internal Busbars & Terminals: As conductive components connecting the charging module to the vehicle connector, 1100 aluminum plate’s high conductivity ensures stable power transfer. Its compatibility with soldering and riveting also simplifies assembly, lowering production costs.​

Mounting Brackets & Heat Sinks: 1100 aluminum plate’s good thermal conductivity (220 W/(m·K)) makes it effective for heat sinks, dissipating heat generated during fast charging to prevent component overheating. Its formability also allows for the creation of custom brackets that secure the charging pile to walls or concrete bases.​

3. Mingtai Aluminum: Reliable Supplier of 1100 Aluminum Plate for EV Charging Piles​

Mingtai Aluminum’s production capabilities and quality control systems ensure its 1100 aluminum plate meets the rigorous standards of the EV charging infrastructure industry:​

Advanced Production Lines for Precision: Mingtai owns the domestic first “1+4” hot rolling line, CVC 6-roller cold rolling mills, and tension bending straightening machines. These equipments produce 1100 aluminum plate with ultra-flat surfaces (flatness ≤2mm/m) and clean finishes, eliminating defects like oil stains or inclusions that could compromise charging pile safety.​

Strict Quality Control for Safety Compliance: With 600+ professional technical personnel, Mingtai conducts 100% inspections on 1100 aluminum plate, including chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing, and surface defect detection. All products meet ASTM B209 and GB/T 3880 standards, and comply with EV industry safety regulations (e.g., IEC 61851 for charging systems).​

Eco-Friendly Production & Efficient Supply: Mingtai uses recycled aluminum (with harmless aluminum slag treatment) to manufacture 1100 aluminum plate, reducing carbon emissions by 18%—aligning with the green energy goals of the EV industry. Its 5 production bases and 6000+ employees enable flexible order fulfillment: from small batches (8 tons) to large-scale orders (5000 tons), with delivery times as short as 2-35 days, supporting rapid charging pile deployment.​

4. Why 1100 Aluminum Plate Outperforms Alternatives for EV Charging Piles​

Compared to other materials like copper, steel, or 3003 aluminum alloy, 1100 aluminum plate offers unique advantages for EV charging piles:​

Cost-Effective vs. Copper: Copper has higher conductivity but is 3-4 times more expensive than 1100 aluminum plate. For most charging pile applications, 1100 aluminum plate’s conductivity is sufficient, reducing material costs by 40-50%.​

Lighter & Low-Maintenance vs. Steel: Steel is stronger but heavier and prone to corrosion. 1100 aluminum plate’s lightweight design cuts installation labor costs, while its corrosion resistance eliminates maintenance expenses for repainting or rust removal.​

More Affordable vs. 3003 Aluminum: 3003 aluminum has slightly higher strength but is 10-15% more costly than 1100 aluminum plate. For non-heavy-load charging pile components (e.g., casings, terminals), 1100 aluminum plate provides the best cost-performance ratio.​
