What is Aluminium 1060 plates and Blocks?
Aluminium 1060 is a commercially pure grade of aluminium known for its superior formability, corrosion resistance, moderate strength, lightweight nature and ease of machining, making these lightweight plates and blocks popularly utilized across industries including construction, transportation and electronics due to its lightweight properties and ease of machining; it often finds use where intricate shaping or corrosion protection are paramount.
Aluminium 1060 plates and blocks offer superior corrosion resistance, making them the ideal material choice in harsh environments such as moisture. Their inherent properties combined with those present in 1060 alloy ensure long-term resistance against rusting or degradation, making these components perfect for outdoor structures, marine components or architectural features that need protecting against the elements.
Aluminium 1060 plates and blocks not only boast corrosion resistance, but they're also highly machinable, easily shaping, drilling and cutting to precise specifications without damaging their integrity or surface finish. This feature makes Aluminium 1060 ideal for industries such as manufacturing, automotive and aerospace that demand intricate components with tight tolerances.
Aluminium 1060 plates and blocks possess exceptional weldability, making welding operations simpler while increasing speed for assembly of structures or machinery without compromising strength or performance. This attribute makes 1060 Aluminium especially advantageous in industries such as construction, transportation and electronics where joining other metal components with various welding techniques may be commonplace in assembly operations.
Aluminium 1060 plates and blocks have applications across many industries. From structural elements in buildings and bridges to heat exchangers in HVAC systems, these materials find use across numerous fields due to their combination of strength, lightweight properties, corrosion resistance and aesthetic suitability. Furthermore, electrical enclosures, signage and packaging make use of them due to these properties too, further attesting their adaptability with respect to functional needs as well as aesthetic demands.
Aluminium 1060 plates and blocks have become an invaluable material in automotive production, helping ensure fuel efficiency while optimizing performance. Furthermore, aircraft fuselages, wings and interior structures use these lightweight structures as structural supports, contributing to flight efficiency while increasing payload capacities. Furthermore, heat sinks fabricated with these materials ensure efficient heat dissipation throughout electronic devices and systems.

Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
Forming
Most cast steel is formed by hot rolling—the slab, bloom, or billet is heated and passed through large rollers, stretching out the steel into a longer, thinner form.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment strengthens rolled steel by recrystallizing the deformed microstructure. Most steel is heat treated by annealing.
Cutting or Machining
Steel is cut to a specified shape and size. The steel can be sheared with circular knives, sawed with high-speed blades, or blanked with punches.
Finishing
Steels can be made with a wide variety of surface finishes. The chosen surface finish is not purely aesthetic. The type of finish is determined by the intended application.
