1060 Pure Aluminum Rod Description
1060 Electrical Grade Aluminum Rod: 99.6% Purity & High Conductivity
Not for Structure, But for Conductivity and Chemistry.
Unlike the hard 6061 alloy, 1060 Aluminum Rod is commercially pure aluminum (Min 99.6% Al). It is known for its exceptional electrical conductivity (>61% IACS), superior corrosion resistance, and high ductility.
At GNEE Aluminum, we fix the common market problem of "impure scrap aluminum". We use only Primary Aluminum Ingots to ensure our 1060 rods meet the strict requirements of electrical busbars, chemical equipment, and food processing industries.
Key Performance Features of 1060 Pure Aluminum Rod
Excellent Conductivity (Not Structural):
With low resistance, our 1060 rod is the standard alternative to copper for power transmission, grounding bars, and electrical busbars.
Superior Corrosion Resistance:
Contrary to common misconceptions, 1060 has excellent resistance to atmospheric and chemical corrosion (including ammonia and nitric acid), making it ideal for chemical storage tanks.
Extreme Formability:
1060 is soft (O/H112 Temper). It can withstand 90° to 180° bending without cracking, perfect for complex shaping.
(Note: It is NOT suitable for high-stress aerospace parts like 7075.)

about us
GNEE: Your Source for Verified Pure Aluminum
1. Raw Material Control:
We reject recycled scrap for 1060 production. We use primary aluminum liquid to control Iron (Fe) and Silicon (Si) content, ensuring the conductivity never drops below standard.
2. Spectrometer (PMI) Testing:
Every batch is tested before shipment. We provide a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) showing the exact chemical composition.
You can see the Al content is > 99.60% on our reports.
3. Global Inventory:
We hold 50+ tons of stock in standard diameters (10mm, 12mm, 20mm, etc.) for immediate dispatch to 100+ Countries.
Packaging & Shipping (Critical for Soft Aluminum)
"Soft-Touch" Packaging System for 1060 Rods
Since 1060 aluminum is much softer than 6061, it is easily scratched or dented. GNEE uses a specialized packaging protocol:
Individual Sleeve: For high-surface-quality rods, each rod is sleeved in Plastic Mesh (Pearl Cotton) to prevent metal-on-metal friction.
Interleaving Layer: Kraft paper is used between bundles.
Moisture Protection: Silica Gel Desiccants are packed inside to prevent water stains and oxidation during sea freight.
Strong Wooden Crates: We use fully enclosed Fumigated Wooden Cases (not just open pallets) to protect the soft rods from external pressure.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: Is 1060 Aluminum Rod suitable for machining?
A: 1060 is soft and "gummy" (sticky), which makes chip breaking difficult during CNC machining. It is not recommended for precision machining parts. For machining, we recommend 6061-T6. 1060 is best for bending, welding, and stamping.
Q2: What is the conductivity of your 1060 rod?
A: Our Electrical Grade 1060 rods guarantee a conductivity of 61% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard) or higher, making them a cost-effective substitute for copper busbars.
Q3: Does 1060 aluminum rust?
A: No. 1060 forms a natural oxide layer that protects it from rust. It has excellent corrosion resistance in industrial atmospheres and chemicals, far better than 2000 or 7000 series aluminum.
Q4: Can you provide free samples?
A: Yes. We offer Free Samples (10-20cm) for you to test the conductivity and purity. You only need to cover the courier cost.
