Räätälöity 1060 Alumiinilevy: Grades, Luonteet, Sizes and Buyer’s Guide

Esittely

Räätälöity 1060 aluminum sheet is one of the most widely ordered commercially pure aluminum plates in the world.

As a 1xxx-series grade with a minimum 99.60% aluminum content, 1060 combines excellent formability, korroosionkestävyys, electrical and thermal conductivity and weldability with a low, stable price

—which makes it the default choice for signage, building cladding, insulation jacketing, lamp reflectors, jäähdytyslevyt, stamping and deep-drawn parts that do not need high strength.

Ordering it as a “custom” product means fixing the temper, paksuus, sheet size, surface finish and cut dimensions to your product rather than accepting stock plate.

This short guide covers the composition and mechanical properties of 1060, how to choose the temper, standard sizes and weights, tyypillisiä sovelluksia, how it compares with 1050, 1100 ja 3003, and what to specify when ordering factory-direct.

Mikä on 1060 Alumiinilevy?

1060 is a non-heat-treatable commercially pure aluminum; it is strengthened only by cold working and softened by annealing. Sheet generally runs from about 0.2 to 6 mm paksu (thicker material is classed as plate), supplied flat or in cut-to-length panels. Its characteristic advantages are:

• Excellent ductility for bending, leimaaminen, spinning and deep drawing, especially in the O temper.
• Very good atmospheric corrosion resistance from the natural oxide film, ideal for outdoor signage and insulation jacketing.
• High electrical and thermal conductivity, suited to busbars, battery connectors, reflectors and heat-spreading parts.
• Excellent weldability and easy machining, cutting and anodizing.
• Matala tiheys (noin 2.71 g/cm³) for light, rust-free panels, at a lower cost than alloyed grades.
• The trade-off is low mechanical strength; load-bearing or high-wear parts should use 3003, 5052 tai 6061 sen sijaan.

Composition and Mechanical Properties

The controlled chemistry (GB/T:lle 3190, paino %) keeps iron and silicon low so conductivity and corrosion resistance stay high:

Elementti	Al	Ja	Fe	Cu	Mn	Mg	Zn	of
1060	≥ 99,60	≤0,25	≤0,35	≤0,05	≤0,03	≤0,03	≤0,05	≤0,03

 

Mechanical properties change sharply with temper, so the same 1060 sheet can be supplied soft and deep-drawable or hard and rigid:

Luonne	Vetolujuus (MPa)	Pidentymä	Merkki
O (hehkutettu)	suunnilleen. 60–100	25–40 %	Pehmein; syvä piirustus, kehruu, maksimaalinen muovattavuus
H12 / H22	suunnilleen. 75–115	10–20%	Quarter-hard; light forming
H14 / H24	suunnilleen. 95–135	6–15 %	Puolikova; the common general-purpose and sign temper
H16 / H26	suunnilleen. 120–160	3–10 %	Three-quarter-hard; stiffer panels
H18	suunnilleen. 160–190	2-8 %	Täysi kova; rigid, limited forming

 

Values vary slightly with thickness and standard; always confirm the tensile and yield range on the mill certificate for your gauge.

Standard Sizes, Surfaces and Weight

1060 sheet is produced from about 0.2 to 6 mm (plate to 200 mm+ on request), in widths up to roughly 2600 mm and lengths to 12,000 mm. Common stock and cut sizes include 4×8 ft (1219×2438 mm), 4×10 ft, 1000×2000, 1220×2440, 1250×2500 and 1500×3000 mm, plus fully custom blanks cut to your drawing.

Pinta / viimeistely	Tyypillinen käyttö
Mylly viimeistely (with optional PVC/PVDF protective film)	General sheet, verhous, fabrication stock
Harjattu / hairline or mirror-polished	Decorative panels, typikilvea, valaistus
Anodized or color-coated (PVDF/PE)	Curtain wall, kattopäällysteet, durable outdoor signage
Embossed stucco / five-bar tread	Insulation jacketing, anti-slip and decorative sheet

 

Weight is easy to calculate at a density of 2.71 g/cm³: kg per m² = thickness (mm) × 2.71. A 4×8 ft sheet covers about 2.972 m².

Paksuus	kg/m²	Weight per 4×8 sheet
0.5 mm	1.36	suunnilleen. 4.0 kg
1.0 mm	2.71	suunnilleen. 8.1 kg
1.5 mm	4.07	suunnilleen. 12.1 kg
2.0 mm	5.42	suunnilleen. 16.1 kg
3.0 mm	8.13	suunnilleen. 24.2 kg

 

Tyypilliset sovellukset

• Merkinnät, liikennemerkit, nimikyltit ja mainostaulut – yleensä H14/H18 arkki, joka tulostaa, anodisoi ja vinyylikiinnitys puhtaasti.
• Verhoseinän rakentaminen, kattopäällysteet, katto- ja koristepaneelit, usein anodisoitu tai pinnoitettu.
• Korroosionestoeristysvaippa (alumiinipäällyste) putkia varten, säiliöt ja kanavat, usein stukkokuvioitu ja H14/H16.
• Lampun heijastimet, valaistusosat, jäähdytyslevyt ja jäähdyttimen komponentit, plus akun joustavat liittimet ja johtavat osat.
• Keittoastiat, lampunkuoret ja syvävedetyt tai kehrätyt osat pehmeällä O temperillä, plus yleinen leimaus, bending and laser-cut blanks.

1060 vs 1050, 1100 ja 3003

Luokka	Mini. Al / seostus	Vahvuus	Best fit
1050	99.50% Al	Matala	Most economical general sheet, cladding and insulation
1060	99.60% Al	Matala	Signs, conductive and reflective parts; better conductivity than 1050
1100	99.00% Al, a little Cu	Low-medium	Hieman vahvempi; muodostumista, hitsaus, kemialliset laitteet, keittiövälineet
3003	Al + Mn (noin 1.2%)	Keskikokoinen	Noin 20% vahvempi, better for floors, tread plate and tougher cladding

 

Valita 1060 when purity, johtavuus, reflectivity or price leads and strength is not critical; step up to 1100 for a little more strength and weldability, ja siihen 3003 (tai 5052/6061) for load-bearing, abrasion or structural duty.

Custom Options, Quality Control and Ordering

A custom 1060 order can specify temper (O, H12/H14/H16/H18 or H22/H24/H26), thickness and tolerance, sheet or blank dimensions, edge type (slit or sawn), pintakäsittely, protective film, anodizing/coating color, embossing and packaging. Fabrication services often include laser, plasma or water-jet cutting, taivutus, punching, drilling and CNC blanks made to drawing.

Quality control covers thickness and flatness, width/length and diagonal tolerance, pinnan laatu (ei naarmuja, tahroja, oil or roll marks on critical faces), tensile properties by temper and alloy chemistry on the mill test certificate;

ISO 9001 mills support SGS/BV/TUV inspection. Sheets are normally interleaved with protective film, packed on wooden pallets or in wooden cases with moisture-proof wrapping for export.

Pricing follows the aluminum ingot base plus a processing fee, with thinner or wider gauge, custom cutting, surface treatment and small quantities adding cost; compare suppliers per ton and per finished blank on identical temper, arvioida, size and finish, under FOB/CFR/CIF terms (yleisesti 30% deposit with balance against the bill of lading).

Johtopäätös

Räätälöity 1060 aluminum sheet is the economical, easy-to-fabricate pure-aluminum workhorse for signage, verhous, eristys, reflectors and formed parts.

Specify the temper from how the panel is processed (O for deep forming, H14/H24 for general and sign use, H18 for rigidity), fix thickness and cut size, choose the surface finish, and buy on mill certificates, dimensional tolerances and approved samples rather than price alone.
