Description
1060 Aluminum Sheet Manufacturer & Supplier
Hongyuan Aluminum is a China-based aluminum manufacturer supplying 1060 aluminum sheets for electrical, thermal, fabrication, and general industrial applications.
1060 aluminum is a commercially pure aluminum grade containing at least 99.6% aluminum. It is known for excellent formability, good corrosion resistance, and high thermal and electrical conductivity.
Compared with higher-strength aluminum alloys, 1060 aluminum has relatively low mechanical strength but offers excellent workability for applications where conductivity and forming performance are important.
We support customized dimensions, tempers, and processing requirements for international B2B customers.

Key Features of 1060 Aluminum Sheet
1. High Aluminum Purity
1060 aluminum contains at least 99.6% aluminum, making it suitable for applications requiring commercially pure aluminum.
2. High Electrical Conductivity
Its high electrical conductivity makes 1060 aluminum a suitable material for certain electrical components, conductive connections, and industrial equipment.
3. Excellent Thermal Conductivity
1060 aluminum transfers heat efficiently and can be used in heat-transfer and thermal-management components.
4. Excellent Formability
1060 aluminum sheet offers good workability for bending, stamping, and forming, particularly in soft tempers.
5. Good Corrosion Resistance
The natural oxide layer provides good corrosion resistance in many ordinary atmospheric environments.
1060 Aluminum Sheet Applications
1060 aluminum sheets are commonly considered for:
- Electrical conductive components and busbar-related fabrication
- Heat-transfer and thermal-management equipment
- Lighting reflectors and lighting components
- Sheet metal bending and stamping
- Industrial insulation cladding
- Chemical equipment components
- Signs, decorative panels, and general fabrication
Final material selection should consider operating conditions, mechanical requirements, and applicable industry standards.
Common Tempers of 1060 Aluminum Sheet
| Temper | Characteristics | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| O | Annealed, soft, excellent formability | Deep forming and complex bending |
| H12 | Quarter-hard | Light fabrication and forming |
| H14 | Half-hard | General sheet metal fabrication |
| H16 | Three-quarter-hard | Components requiring increased rigidity |
| H18 | Full-hard | Relatively rigid formed or flat components |
| H24 | Strain-hardened and partially annealed, half-hard | General industrial fabrication |
Available tempers and mechanical properties should be confirmed according to the required thickness and material standard.
1060 Aluminum Sheet vs 1050 Aluminum Sheet
1050 and 1060 are both commercially pure aluminum grades with good formability and corrosion resistance.
| Property | 1050 Aluminum Sheet | 1060 Aluminum Sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Aluminum Content | 99.5% | 99.6% |
| Formability | Excellent | Excellent |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good | Good |
| Electrical Conductivity | High | High |
| Thermal Conductivity | High | High |
| Typical Selection | General fabrication and forming | Electrical, thermal, and forming applications |
The higher minimum aluminum purity of 1060 may be beneficial for some conductivity-focused applications, although actual performance also depends on temper, composition, and processing.
