1060 aluminum alloy is a commercially pure wrought alloy from the 1000 series family. It shares fundamental similarities with 1050 aluminum alloy, differing by only 0.1% aluminum content by weight. While both 1050 and 1060 are covered by the same ISO standard, they fall under different ASTM standards.
As a wrought alloy, 1060 is typically formed by extrusion or rolling. It is widely used in electrical and chemical industries due to its high electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior workability. While it has lower mechanical strength compared to more heavily alloyed metals, it can be strengthened through cold working processes.
