Alloy 1060 offers high aluminium purity, excellent conductivity and good fabrication characteristics. It is generally selected for applications where formability and conductivity are more important than high strength.
Its high aluminium purity makes it suitable for electrical conductors and related components.
Transfers heat efficiently, supporting use in heat-transfer and thermal management applications.
Forms a protective oxide layer and performs well in many atmospheric environments.
Its ductility supports forming, bending and drawing operations in suitable tempers.
Strength is primarily increased through cold working rather than conventional precipitation heat treatment.
Product images are illustrative only. Confirm Alloy 1060 availability, suitability and manufacturing requirements for the specific fastener or component.
Alloy 1060 is used in applications requiring high conductivity, corrosion resistance and formability rather than high strength.
Electrical components and conductor applications where high conductivity is an important requirement.
Heat-transfer components and thermal management applications.
Selected chemical equipment and fabricated parts where the service environment is compatible with aluminium.
Formed components, panels and general-purpose fabricated products.
Alloy 1060 is a relatively low-strength aluminium grade. Confirm the temper, product form and design loads before using it in load-bearing components or fasteners.
Consider the process media, moisture, temperature and possible galvanic contact with dissimilar metals. Suitability depends on the actual service environment.
The alloy offers good formability, particularly in softer tempers. Fabrication method, temper and component geometry should be considered during manufacturing.
No one-to-one Werkstoff number was verified for Alloy 1060 Aluminium in the cross-reference sources checked for this update, so this page does not assign a number. Confirm any proposed EN alternative against the applicable product standard and supplier certificate before substitution.
