Brief Introduction Of 1060 aluminum :
1060 aluminium alloy is an aluminium-based alloy in the "commercially pure" wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). It is fundamentally very similar to 1050 aluminium alloy,with the difference coming down to 0.1% aluminium by weight. However, while both 1050 and 1060 are covered by the same ISO standard, they are covered by different ASTM standards.
As a wrought alloy, it is typically formed by extrusion or rolling. It is commonly used in the electrical and chemical industries, on account of having high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability. It has low mechanical strength compared to more significantly alloyed metals. It can be strengthened by cold working, but not by heat treatment.Alternate designations include Al99.6 and A91060.
Hardening:
Aluminium/Aluminum 1060 alloy can be hardened only from cold working.Tempers H18, H16, H14 and H12 are determined based on the amount of cold working imparted to this alloy.
Annealing:
Aluminium/Aluminum 1060 alloy can be annealed at 343°C (650°F) and then cooled in air.
Cold Working:
Aluminium/Aluminum 1060 has excellent cold working characteristics and conventional methods are used to readily cold work this alloy.
Welding:
Standard commercial methods can be used for Aluminium / Aluminum 1060 alloy. The filter rod used in this welding process whenever needed should be of AL 1060. Good results can be obtained from the resistance welding process performed on this alloy through trial and error experimentation.
Forging:
Aluminium/Aluminum 1060 alloy can be forged between 510 to 371°C (950 to 700°F).
Forming:
Aluminium/Aluminum 1060 alloy can be formed in an excellent manner by hot or cold working with commercial techniques.
Machinability:
Aluminium/Aluminum 1060 alloy is rated with fair to poor machinability, especially in the soft temper conditions. The machinability is much improved in the harder (cold worked) tempers. Usage of lubricants and either high-speed steel tooling or carbide are recommended for this alloy. Some of the cutting for this alloy can also be done dry.
