1060 Aluminum Disc Circle Comparison to Common Alloys

Alloy	Al Content	Yield Strength	Formability	Corrosion Resistance
1060	99.6 %	~35 MPa	Excellent	Very high
3003	97 %	~80 MPa	Good	Medium
5052	95 %	~228 MPa	Fair	High

1060 Aluminum Disc Circle Selection Guide and Technical Recommendations

Temper Selection:

For deep drawing/spinning processes (e.g., cookware pots), use O temper.
For structural parts requiring high rigidity (e.g., lamp bases), choose H24/H18 temper.

Thickness-to-Diameter Ratio:

Spinning applications: For diameters <500 mm, select thinner discs (0.5–3 mm).
Pressure vessels: Choose thicker discs (>4 mm) in H24 temper.

Comparison with Competing Alloys:

Compared to 1050A: 1060 offers 5–10% higher tensile strength and better formability.
Compared to 3003: 1060 provides excellent electrical conductivity but lower strength; 3003 is better suited for high-stress applications.

Cost-Effectiveness Trade-off:

1060 is 3–8% more expensive than 1050A, but for applications requiring higher formability or conductivity, it remains a reasonable choice.

1060 Aluminum Disc Circle Limitations

Compared with 3xxx/5xxx alloys, it has lower mechanical strength, limiting its use in structural applications. It is non-heat-treatable; strength can only be improved through cold working.
