1060 Aluminum Coil
What is 1060 Aluminum Coil?
1060 aluminum coil belongs to the 1000 series pure aluminum alloy, with an aluminum content of at least 99.6%, and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Its properties are mainly improved through cold working processes.
1060 aluminum coil is part of the 1000 series aluminum alloys, with a purity of ≥99.6%. It features excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, ductility, corrosion resistance, and good formability, making it an ideal choice for electrical, chemical, and industrial applications.
- ≥99.6% high-purity aluminum
- Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity
- Outstanding formability, suitable for deep drawing and stamping
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Cost-effective industrial aluminum solution
1060 aluminum cannot be strengthened by heat treatment and mainly relies on cold working (such as rolling) to improve its strength. Therefore, it is a typical "soft aluminum alloy" with excellent formability.
Compared with high-alloy metals, 1060 aluminum alloy has relatively low mechanical strength. It is similar to 1050 aluminum alloy, but with slightly higher aluminum content, resulting in better ductility, formability, and tensile strength.
The production process of 1060 aluminum coil is simple and well-established, with relatively low cost and strong market competitiveness. Its surface is smooth and clean, with excellent formability, fully meeting general processing requirements such as stamping and drawing.

Characteristics of 1060 Aluminum Coil
1060 aluminum coil, with its high purity, high ductility, excellent electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance, is an ideal choice for industrial aluminum materials, electronic components, construction materials, and deep processing manufacturing. Its outstanding forming performance and high cost-effectiveness give it irreplaceable advantages in many application scenarios.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
1060 aluminum coil exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance in the atmosphere, water (including salt water), and various chemical media, making it suitable for outdoor environments, chemical processing, and electrical applications.
High Electrical and Thermal Conductivity
Its electrical and thermal conductivity is close to that of copper. With the same weight, aluminum's conductivity is almost twice that of copper. This makes 1060 aluminum coil an ideal material for soft connections in power batteries, electrical components, and electronic products.
Excellent Formability
Soft in texture, extremely easy to roll, bend, deep draw, or spin, and not prone to cracking, it can meet the requirements for manufacturing complex parts and deep drawing.
High Reflectivity
1060 aluminum coil effectively reflects visible light, radiant heat, and radio waves. After anodizing or dark anodizing, it can possess both reflective and absorptive properties, making it very suitable for building curtain walls, lighting, and insulation applications.
Safe and Environmentally Friendly
Non-magnetic and non-toxic, it can be safely used in food packaging, medical devices, and electrical equipment.
Good Weldability
1060 aluminum coil can be processed using various welding methods. However, due to its soft material, slight "galling" may occur during machining, so attention is needed during mechanical cutting.

Why choose 1060 over 1050 for Electrical Applications?
With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, Haomei Aluminum has conducted extensive production and application analysis on both 1050 and 1060 aluminum alloys for electrical use.
We have consistently found that 1060 aluminum offers a higher purity level (≥99.6%) compared to 1050 (≥99.5%), and this 0.1% increase in aluminum content plays a critical role in improving electrical conductivity. In demanding applications such as transformer winding, even a slight enhancement in conductivity can contribute to higher efficiency and reduced energy loss.
For busbar applications, Haomei strongly recommends 1060-O temper aluminum coil, which delivers excellent ductility with a minimum elongation of up to 25%. This ensures superior performance during bending, forming, and installation processes without cracking, making it ideal for complex electrical structures.
In addition, 1060 aluminum provides:
- More stable conductivity performance across batches
