Aluminium 1060 is a commercially pure grade, containing at least 99.6% aluminum, along with small amounts of iron (≤0.35%), silicon (≤0.25%), copper, manganese, magnesium, and zinc. It’s non-heat-treatable and boasts excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Its mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 60 to 120 MPa, yield strength around 30 to 80 MPa, and elongation of up to 35%, depending on the temper. This alloy is renowned for its remarkable corrosion resistance, high ductility, and superb workability, making it ideal for cold-working and forging processes.

Aluminum 1060 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications due to its low strength and relatively low melting point. It is more suited for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance and formability.
Aluminum 1060 offers high corrosion resistance, excellent workability, good weldability, and enhanced electrical conductivity, making it ideal for custom forgings in industries requiring lightweight, durable, and malleable components.
The forging process for Aluminium 1060 typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the part, with heating, shaping, and cooling stages. Each stage varies based on specifications.
Aluminium 1060 forgings find extensive use in industries where conductivity, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication are key priorities. In the electrical sector, they are perfect for bus bars, conductors, and connectors thanks to their outstanding electrical performance. The chemical and food processing industries utilize them for storage tanks, utensils, and piping systems. In construction, Aluminium 1060 is employed for roofing, cladding, and decorative features. The HVAC industry uses it in ducting and heat exchanger components. Its non-toxic nature and lightweight characteristics also make it a great choice for packaging, lighting, and reflective applications across various sectors.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
