The paper addresses the heath treated aluminum alloy EN-AW 1050A H24, an almost pure aluminum, as base material for the manufacturing of innovative passive energy dissipation devices to be arrangedin framed buildings.The employment of such a material is a novelty in the civil engineering field and its properties need to be thoroughly analyzed. To this purpose, after a detailed description of the performed heath treatment, the main outcomes of a wide experimental campaign to investigate the material behavior under both monotonic and cyclic static-dynamic actions are provided. Furthermore, the main outcomes of a research activity aimed at investigating the influence of welding processes on the material performance are shown. Eventually, a significant example of passive energy dissipation device made of the proposed material is presented.
