Manufacturing & Processing Features
Hot Rolling & Cold Rolling: 1060 aluminum sheet is manufactured through hot rolling or cold rolling processes. Hot-rolled sheets offer superior internal stress relief and thickness uniformity; cold-rolled sheets deliver tighter dimensional tolerances and brighter surface finishes.
Annealing: 1060 is a non-heat-treatable alloy. Strength is achieved through strain hardening (cold working), not heat treatment. Controlled annealing produces tempers from O (fully annealed) to H18 (fully hard).
Surface Treatment Options:
Mill finish (standard as-rolled surface)
Anodized finish (enhanced corrosion resistance and decorative appearance)
Embossed / checker plate (non-slip surface)
Bright / mirror finish (signage and decorative applications)
Coated (paint or PVDF for building exteriors)

Selection Guidance:
Choose 1060 for cost-effective pure aluminum with excellent formability, conductivity, and corrosion resistance
Choose 1070 when maximum purity and highest conductivity are critical
Choose 3003 when higher strength (approximately 20% stronger than 1xxx series) is required while maintaining good formability
FAQ

Q3: What payment terms do you accept?
T/T, L/C, D/P, D/A, and Western Union. Terms are negotiable based on order size and customer history.
Q4: Can I get free samples?
Yes. Samples are provided free of charge. The buyer covers shipping costs.
Q5: Can I request third-party inspection?
Yes. SGS, BV, or any customer-nominated inspection agency is welcome. Inspection must be arranged prior to shipment.
Q6: What quality documents do you provide?
Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1), chemical composition report, mechanical properties report, dimensional report, surface quality certificate, and RoHS compliance certificate.
Q7: How is 1060 aluminum alloy packaged for export?
Waterproof kraft paper + plastic film moisture barrier + seaworthy wooden pallets with metal strapping. Custom packaging available.
Q8: What is the price of 1060 aluminum alloy?
Price depends on temper, thickness, quantity, surface finish, and current market conditions. Contact us with your specifications for a firm quote within 24 hours.
Q9: Do you offer custom sizes?
Yes. Custom thickness, width, length, and surface finishes are available. No minimum for size customization beyond standard MOQ.
Q10: What is the difference between O and H14 temper?
O temper is fully annealed (softest, maximum formability). H14 is ½ hard (higher strength, moderate formability). Choose O for deep drawing; H14 for bending and general fabrication.
Q11: Can you provide material traceability?
Yes. All shipments include full traceability with heat number and mill test certificates.
Q12: What industries use 1060 aluminum alloy most?
Automotive (EV thermal management), electronics (heat sinks, housings), construction (facades, curtain walls), signage, chemical processing, and general fabrication.
