Introduction of 1060 Aluminum Sheet Plate

1060 aluminum sheet plate belongs to 1000 series aluminum sheet, which is pretty similar to 1050 aluminum alloy with more than 0.1% of aluminum by weight.

Both 1050 and 1060 aluminum sheet of Huawei AL, lives up to ISO standards, but they cover different ASTM standards. 1060 aluminum alloy contains 0.05% cooper, thus, its conductivity is 55%.

Besides, 1060 aluminum sheet is relatively low strength, essentially pure aluminum alloy with many different tempers, such as O (annealed), H12, H14, H16, H18, etc. what’s more, other aluminum sheets belonging to the commercially pure wrought family are available, including 1050, 1070, 1100 and so on and so forth.

1060 aluminum sheet feature

1060 aluminum sheet Has good elongation and tensile strength, can satisfy completely the requirements of conventional processing (stamping, stretch) high formability.

For industrial pure aluminum, high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, but strength is low, heat treatment can not be improved machinability is bad; Gas welding, hydrogen welding, and resistance welding are not easy to brazing; Under various pressure processing and extension, bending.

1060 aluminum sheet applications

1060 aluminum sheet is widely used in signs, billboards, building exterior decoration, bus body, tall buildings and factory wall body adornment, kitchen sink, lamp holder, fan blade, electronic parts, chemical equipment, mechanical parts, deep drawing of sheet or spinning concave ware, welding part, heat exchanger, clock surface and plate, plate, kitchenware, ornaments, reflective equipment, making car heat shield, chemical and marine equipment, etc.

1060 Aluminum sheet Machinability

The machinability of AL 1060 aluminum is fair to poor, especially in soft temper conditions.

In the harder (cold worked) tempers such as H16 and H18, the machining characteristics are improved. Either carbide or high-speed steel tooling may be used and the use of lubricants is recommended, although some cutting may be done dry.

The heat treatment process of 1060 aluminum sheet

Fast annealing: the heating temperature is 350~410 degrees centigrade; with the effective thickness of the material, the heat preservation time is between 30 and 120min; cooling in air or water.

High-temperature annealing: the heating temperature is 350~500 DEG C; if the finished thickness is not less than 6mm, the holding time is 10 ~ 30min, if the thickness is less than 6mm, heat until all the sheet is hot, cooling in the air.

Low-temperature annealing: the heating temperature is 150~250 degrees centigrade; the heat preservation time is 2 ~ 3H; cooling in air or water.
