Aluminium 1060 is a commercially pure grade that contains about 99.6% aluminium, along with trace amounts of silicon (≤0.25%), iron (≤0.35%), copper (≤0.05%), and zinc (≤0.05%). This alloy is prized for its remarkable corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, and excellent formability. While it isn’t heat-treatable, Aluminium 1060 still boasts decent mechanical properties, with a tensile strength ranging from 60 to 100 MPa and elongation between 10% and 30%. Its softness and malleability make it ideal for cold forging, enabling the creation of precise shapes and designs while maintaining strength and a great surface finish.

Aluminum 1060 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications due to its low strength and relatively low melting point. It is more suited for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance and formability.
Aluminum 1060 offers high corrosion resistance, excellent workability, good weldability, and enhanced electrical conductivity, making it ideal for custom forgings in industries requiring lightweight, durable, and malleable components.
Aluminium 1060 forgings are a go-to choice in industries that require excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. You’ll often find them in applications like electrical busbars, transformer parts, and heat exchangers. In construction, this material shines in roofing, cladding, and architectural details thanks to its impressive formability and durability. Its resistance to chemicals makes it perfect for chemical processing equipment, and its lightweight nature is a real advantage in transportation and marine applications. Plus, with the capability to forge custom shapes and sizes, Starc Metals offers tailored Aluminium 1060 solutions that cater to the specific technical and performance needs across various industries.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
