AL1060
AL1060 is a commercially pure aluminum alloy with an aluminum content of about 99.6%. It has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, and very good formability. Commonly used in electrical conductors, chemical equipment, and sheet metal parts.
AL1060 is a commercially pure aluminum alloy containing about 99.6% aluminum, making it one of the highest purity grades in the 1000-series family. Its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, combined with excellent corrosion resistance and formability, makes it highly versatile across industrial applications. Due to its high purity, AL1060 is softer and less strong compared to alloyed grades, but this also provides superior ductility, weldability, and ease of processing. It is widely used in electrical conductors, bus bars, chemical equipment, roofing sheets, and decorative applications where conductivity and corrosion resistance are more critical than mechanical strength. Its natural oxide film provides long-lasting protection against atmospheric corrosion, particularly in marine and industrial environments. At GD Prototyping, we supply precision-processed AL1060 aluminum solutions in various forms, including sheets, coils, and custom components, ensuring reliability and quality for industries requiring both conductivity and durability.
