1060 Aluminium Strip

1060 Aluminium Strip

The 1060 aluminum strip is a commercially pure aluminum alloy known for its excellent electrical conductivity, high corrosion resistance, and great formability. Because it contains at least 99.6% pure aluminum, it is widely used in the electrical and heat exchange industries.

1060 Aluminium Strip Description

 

At GNEE, a professional Chinese aluminum supplier, we manufacture high-quality 1060 aluminum strips for global factories. Whether you need materials for transformer windings, cable shielding, or radiator fins, we provide stable raw materials with precise dimensions.

 

1060 aluminum belongs to the 1xxx series. It is a non-heat-treatable alloy. This means you cannot increase its strength through heating and quenching processes. Instead, its strength is adjusted through cold working (rolling).


According to the different annealing states of aluminum strip, aluminum strip can be divided into fully soft (o state),semi-hard (H24) fully hard (h18). The most commonly used aluminum strip belongs to the full-soft series, because the O-state is easier to stretch and bend.

 

Chemical Composition of 1060 Aluminium Strip

 

The purity of 1060 aluminum directly affects its conductivity. We control our chemical composition strictly according to ASTM B209 and EN 573 standards to ensure high performance.

Element Content (%)
Aluminum (Al) ≥ 99.60
Silicon (Si) ≤ 0.25
Iron (Fe) ≤ 0.35
Copper (Cu) ≤ 0.05
Manganese (Mn) ≤ 0.03
Zinc (Zn) ≤ 0.05
Titanium (Ti) ≤ 0.03

 

Mechanical Properties of 1060 Aluminium Strip

 

Depending on your manufacturing process, you need the right temper. The O temper is highly flexible, while the H18 temper is fully hard. Below are the standard mechanical properties of our 1060 aluminum strip.

Temper Tensile Strength (MPa) Yield Strength (MPa) Elongation (%)
O (Soft) 60 – 95 ≥ 25 ≥ 25
H12 (1/4 Hard) 85 – 120 ≥ 70 ≥ 10
H14 (1/2 Hard) 95 – 135 ≥ 85 ≥ 8
H18 (Full Hard) ≥ 120 ≥ 100 ≥ 5

 

Physical Properties of 1060 Aluminium Strip

 

The physical properties, especially conductivity, make 1060 aluminum a core material in the electrical sector.

Common Uses of 1060 Aluminium Strip

 

Because 1060 aluminum has low mechanical strength, it is never used for load-bearing structural parts. Instead, it dominates in applications where current, heat, or deep drawing are the main requirements.


1. Electrical Industry

  • Transformer Windings: A 1060 O-temper aluminum strip is the standard material for dry-type and oil-immersed distribution transformers. Its high conductivity and softness make it easy to wind tightly without breaking.
  • Busbars: Used in power distribution systems to conduct electricity safely.
  • Cable Shielding Tape: Used to wrap around electrical cables to protect them from electromagnetic interference and physical damage.


2. Heat Transfer Systems

  • Radiator Fins: Used in automotive and industrial radiators because they dissipate heat quickly.
  • Heat Exchangers: Applied in HVAC systems and air conditioners.

 

3. Electronics

  • Capacitor Foil: Serves as the base material for electrolytic capacitors due to its high purity.
  • Electronic Housings: Used for stamping small, lightweight electronic components.

 

4. Industrial and Decorative

  • Lighting Reflectors: Its bright surface reflects light efficiently in industrial lighting fixtures.
  • Nameplates and Signage: Easy to stamp, engrave, and print on.

1060 vs Other Aluminum Alloys

 

Choosing the right alloy can save you money and prevent manufacturing failures. Here is how 1060 compares to other common strip materials.

Alloy Purity Strength Key Feature Typical Use
1060 ≥ 99.6% Low Best conductivity Transformer strips, cables
1050 ≥ 99.5% Low Cost-effective General deep drawing, lighting
1100 ≥ 99.0% Slightly higher Better strength than 1060 Kitchenware, basic hardware
3003 Al-Mn Medium Good strength + corrosion Structural parts, tanks

Selection Tip: If your project requires electrical conductivity or heat transfer, choose 1060. If your product needs to hold a specific shape under pressure or weight, choose 3003.

 

GNEE Processing Guide

 

  • Forming and Bending: Excellent. In the O-temper, the 1060 strip can be folded and wrapped tightly without cracking.
  • Deep Drawing: Excellent. It stretches well for making deep, seamless cylindrical shapes.
  • Welding: Good. It is easy to weld using TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) or MIG (Metal Inert Gas) methods.
  • Anodizing: Good. It accepts protective anodized coatings easily, maintaining a clean surface finish.

 

Quality & Packing


At GNEE, we have over 18 years of experience supplying aluminum to more than 70 countries. We are ISO certified and maintain strict quality control over our raw materials.
Sea freight requires professional packaging to prevent physical damage and water corrosion (white rust). Our standard export seaworthy packing includes:

  • Wrapping the coils in moisture-proof plastic film and kraft paper.
  • Adding silica gel desiccants to keep the inside dry.
  • Using hard cardboard edge guards to protect the coil edges from dents.
  • Securing the coils firmly to heavy-duty wooden pallets.
  • Delivery Time: Generally 7 to 25 days depending on the order size.

FAQ

 

Is 1060 aluminum strip suitable for transformers?

Yes. With an electrical conductivity of 61-63% IACS , the1060 O-temper aluminum strip is one of the most cost-effective and reliable materials for transformer windings.

Can 1060 aluminum be used for structural parts?

No. 1060 is a commercially pure aluminum with low tensile and yield strength. It will bend or deform under heavy loads. It is not suitable for load-bearing applications.

What is the difference between 1060 and 1100 aluminum?

The main difference is purity. 1060 has at least 99.6% aluminum, offering better electrical conductivity. 1100 has 99.0% aluminum and contains slightly more copper, which gives it slightly higher mechanical strength but lower conductivity than 1060.
