Columbia 1100H14 Small Five-Rib Aluminum Tread Plate | Decorative & Light-Duty

Columbia 1100H14 Small Five-Rib Aluminum Tread Plate: Classic Performance, Modern Utility

Seeking a reliable, cost-effective, and versatile aluminum tread plate for light to medium-duty applications where formability and corrosion resistance are key? Look no further than the Columbia 1100H14 Small Five-Rib Aluminum Tread Plate. Mingtai Aluminum (Stock: 601677) offers this industry-standard alloy in a practical, small-pattern design, providing an optimal balance of functionality, ease of fabrication, and value for a wide array of projects.

Why Choose 1100 (Columbia) Alloy Tread Plate?

The 1100 aluminum alloy, sometimes referred to as “Columbia” in specific industrial contexts, is commercially pure aluminum (99.0% min). This composition grants it unique properties ideal for many non-structural applications:

Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Superior to many other alloys, making it perfect for environments exposed to weather, moisture, and certain chemicals.

High Thermal & Electrical Conductivity: Useful for specialized applications where heat dissipation or grounding is a consideration.

Outstanding Workability: The H14 temper (half-hard) provides a great combination of moderate strength and excellent formability, allowing for easy sawing, bending, drilling, and welding.

Superior Finish: Accepts and retains a bright, attractive finish better than most alloys, ideal for decorative or architectural accents.

The Advantage of the Small Five-Rib Pattern

Our Small Five-Rib Tread Plate offers distinct benefits over larger, more aggressive patterns:

Effective Traction with a Smoother Profile: Provides ample anti-slip safety for foot traffic and light equipment, while being easier to clean and offering a less abrasive surface for sliding objects.

Aesthetic Appeal: The smaller, denser pattern presents a more refined, uniform look, preferred for architectural features, interior accents, and visible industrial design.

Material Efficiency: Can offer a slight weight and material savings compared to heavier patterns, without sacrificing core functionality.

Key Properties of 1100H14 Small Five-Rib Plate

Alloy: 1100 (Commercially Pure Aluminum)

Temper: H14 (Strain hardened to half-hard, not annealed after rolling). This gives it a good balance of strength and formability.

Typical Mechanical Properties (Approx.):

Tensile Strength: 110 – 145 MPa

Yield Strength: 95 – 125 MPa

Elongation: 5% – 15%

Pattern: Small Five-Rib (a tighter, smaller version of the standard diamond pattern).

Ideal Applications for This Versatile Product

This plate is not designed for heavy structural or high-impact areas but excels in numerous light-duty and aesthetic roles:

Decorative & Architectural: Wall cladding, column covers, elevator interiors, signage backsplashes, and decorative trim where a non-slip, metallic finish is desired.

Light Industrial & Commercial: Stair tread nosings, equipment access plates, machinery guards, tool box liners, and light-duty platform flooring in dry or mildly corrosive environments.

Transportation Interiors: Bus step wells, RV entry steps, and trailer interior trim.

Food Service & Display: Suitable for non-contact decorative panels in restaurants or displays due to its cleanability and appearance.

DIY & Fabrication Projects: A favorite for hobbyists and fabricators due to its ease of workability.
