1060 Aluminum Circle Frequently Asked Questions

The aluminum circles from the same batch have different colors. Is there a difference in material quality?

Please rest assured that the material of 1060 aluminum circles from the same batch is completely consistent. The color difference is mainly caused by variations in the thickness of the surface oxide film, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect material properties or processing performance. If you have very high requirements for appearance consistency, we can provide surface treatment services such as anodizing to ensure uniform color.

1060 aluminum circles tend to crack during stamping or deep drawing. Which temper is the most suitable?

The temper of 1060 aluminum circles directly affects processing performance. O temper (soft state) offers the best plasticity and is suitable for deep drawing and complex stamped parts.
H12 / H14 tempers provide certain strength and are suitable for shallow stamping or products that do not require deep drawing.
H18 temper has the highest hardness and poor ductility, and is not recommended for stamping or drawing.

If your product involves deep drawing, it is recommended to choose O temper. We can supply aluminum circles in the corresponding temper and provide free guidance on drawing process parameters.

Can 1060 aluminum circles undergo secondary processing such as bending and welding?

Absolutely. 1060 pure aluminum has excellent plasticity and weldability, and can be subjected to secondary processing such as bending, stamping, drawing, and TIG welding. It is recommended to use pure aluminum welding wire during welding. The strength after welding is slightly lower than that of the base material. If you have specific requirements for weld strength, we can also provide guidance on subsequent heat treatment.

How should aluminum circles be stored to prevent oxidation and deformation?

Please pay attention to the following three points during storage:

Keep the warehouse dry and well ventilated, control relative humidity below 60%, and avoid outdoor storage.
Wrap the aluminum circle surface with PE protective film and seal it with moisture-proof cartons on the outside to prevent contact with moisture and corrosive gases.
Control stacking height; it is recommended not to exceed 50 pieces per stack, or use layered racks to avoid deformation caused by excessive pressure.

Is 1060 aluminum circle resistant to acids and alkalis? Can it be used in humid environments?

1060 pure aluminum has relatively good corrosion resistance, but long-term exposure to strong acids, strong alkalis, or salt spray environments may still cause corrosion. If used in humid environments, it is recommended to apply surface treatments such as anodizing or coating to form a protective layer, which can significantly enhance corrosion resistance. When used in cookware, the oxide layer on the surface is non-toxic and safe for use.

What is the hardness of 1060 aluminum circles? What are the differences between O temper and H temper, and what products are they suitable for?

The hardness varies significantly among different tempers:

O temper 1060 aluminum circles offer the best plasticity and are suitable for deep drawn parts, tableware, and signage.
H12 temper provides certain strength and is suitable for shallow stamped parts and decorative components.
H14 temper has a hardness of approximately 40–45 HB, offering higher strength and suitable for brackets and hardware accessories.
H18 temper has a hardness of approximately 60–65 HB, the highest hardness, and is suitable for wear-resistant components.

You can choose the appropriate temper based on your product processing requirements.

Compared with 3003 and 5052 aluminum circles, what are the advantages and disadvantages of 1060 aluminum circles?

Alloy	Advantages	Disadvantages	Typical Applications
1060	High purity, excellent plasticity, easy processing, low cost	Low strength, poor wear resistance	Cookware, signage, deep drawn parts
3003	Higher strength than 1060, good corrosion resistance	Slightly lower plasticity than 1060	Fuel tanks, pipelines, light stamped parts
5052	High strength, excellent corrosion resistance	Higher cost, average plasticity	Marine components, high-requirement hardware parts

If your product does not require high strength and prioritizes cost-effectiveness, 1060 aluminum circles are the best choice.

Do different thicknesses of 1060 aluminum circles affect processing performance?

Yes, they do.

Thin material (≤1.0 mm) offers better plasticity and is suitable for stamping, bending, and signage production.
Thick material (>1.0 mm) provides slightly higher strength and is suitable for drawing, cookware substrates, and brackets. However, deep drawing of thick material requires higher die pressure. It is recommended to use O temper to reduce the risk of cracking.

Can you provide samples? Is the sample quality consistent with bulk production?

Yes, free samples are available. The sample specifications and temper are exactly the same as bulk production, ensuring consistent quality. You only need to provide the delivery information, and we will ship the samples within 24 hours. If you require customized thickness or temper samples, please feel free to let us know.

For bulk purchases, can you ensure stable quality for each batch of aluminum circles?

Yes, we can guarantee it. We have a comprehensive quality management system covering raw material procurement, rolling, cutting, and packaging, with strict inspection standards at every stage. For mass production, we use aluminum ingots from the same batch and unified process parameters to ensure consistent material properties, dimensions, and appearance across each batch. In addition, we can sign a quality assurance agreement with you to clearly define quality standards and after-sales responsibilities.
