Why Choose Aluminium 1060?
Aluminium 1060 contains a very high percentage of pure aluminium, making it one of the most chemically stable and corrosion-resistant options available. This grade stands out for its remarkable thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as its ability to form and shape easily without cracking or splitting.
Though not designed for applications requiring high mechanical strength, 1060 excels in areas where smooth finish, lightweight properties, and chemical resistance are vital.
Key Features
✅ High Aluminium Content
Its purity ensures non-toxic, non-magnetic performance and resistance to most forms of oxidation and corrosion.
✅ Excellent Electrical and Thermal Conductivity
Ideal for electrical components and cooling systems due to its efficiency in conducting heat and electricity.
✅ Superb Workability
Aluminium 1060 is easy to cut, drill, bend, and fabricate—making it suitable for both industrial and artistic use.
✅ Visually Appealing Finish
The smooth surface offers excellent reflectivity and is easy to anodize or polish for architectural and decorative applications.
✅ Lightweight and Non-Reactive
Its low density and chemical inertness make it practical for environments where weight and cleanliness are critical.
