1060 aluminum alloy is very similar to 1050 aluminum alloy, he former has 99.60% aluminum and the latter has 99.70%, which means the difference is only 0.1% aluminum by weight. Both these two alloy products are covered by the same ISO standard but different ASTM standards. They have almost the same characteristics and applications.

Just like all 1xxx members, aluminum 1060’s machinability is poor, and does not harden by heat treatment (but it is possible to be annealed after cold working), also it is not typically used for high strength and high-pressure applications as it still belongs to pure aluminum.



It has excellent weldability and formability, actually the 1xxx series aluminum alloys have the most excellent weldability and formability which make them are suitable for many applications. 1060 aluminum alloy can be used by standard commercial methods for welding and it has strong corrosion resistance characteristics.



Based on its characteristics, 1060 aluminum alloy are widely used for products which have lower requirement for strength, such as reflector, billboard, decoration, kitchen wares, lamp holder, electric elements, chemical equipment, also because of the strong corrosion resistance characteristics, it can be used for the chemical storage, railroad tank cars and other equipment.
