What Is a 1060 H14 Aluminum Sheet? Properties, Specifications, and Advantages
If you are searching for a cost-effective aluminum sheet with excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and stable conductivity, GNEE's 1060 H14 aluminum sheet is a proven solution widely used in industrial and commercial applications. Below is a detailed explanation to help you determine whether this material is right for your project.
1060 H14 Aluminum Sheet Overview
The 1060 aluminum sheet belongs to the 1000 series pure aluminum plate family, with a minimum aluminum content of 99.6%. It is very similar to 1050 aluminum sheet, with the key difference being a slightly higher aluminum purity-approximately 0.1% more aluminum by weight.
The H14 temper indicates a half-hard condition achieved through controlled cold working, providing a balanced combination of strength and formability. GNEE manufactures 1060 H14 aluminum sheets in compliance with international quality standards, ensuring stable performance across global markets.
1060 H14 Aluminum Sheet vs 1050 Aluminum Sheet
Although 1060 and 1050 aluminum sheets share many characteristics, they are produced under different ASTM specifications and exhibit subtle performance differences.
| Item | 1060 Aluminum Sheet | 1050 Aluminum Sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Content | ≥ 99.6% | ≥ 99.5% |
| Electrical Conductivity | ~55% IACS | Slightly higher |
| Strength Level | Low | Low |
| Formability | Excellent | Excellent |
| Typical Applications | Electrical, decorative, forming parts | Similar general-purpose uses |
Because their properties are so close, 1060 and 1050 aluminum sheets can often be used interchangeably, depending on availability and application requirements.
Chemical Composition of 1060 Aluminum Sheet
1060 aluminum sheet is classified as a commercially pure wrought aluminum alloy. Its alloying elements are strictly controlled to maintain high conductivity and corrosion resistance.
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | Balance (≥ 99.6%) |
| Magnesium (Mg) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Titanium (Ti) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Vanadium (V) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.35 |
| Others (each) | ≤ 0.03 |
