What is 1060 Aluminum Circle?

1060 aluminum is a high purity aluminum alloy (99.6%), widely used when forming performance matters more than strength.

In simple terms:

• It is soft enough for deep drawing
• It has very good thermal conductivity
• It is easy to process without cracking

That’s why it’s commonly used for aluminum cookware and similar products.

Specifications of 1060 Aluminum Circle

Custom sizes and specifications are available based on your project requirements.

Chemical Composition (Typical)

• Aluminum (Al): ≥99.6%
• Silicon (Si): ≤0.25%
• Iron (Fe): ≤0.35%
• Copper (Cu): ≤0.05%

This high purity composition ensures excellent performance in forming and corrosion resistance.

Mechanical Properties

Different tempers allow flexibility for various applications—from soft deep drawing to higher strength structural uses.

Why Many Buyers Choose 1060 Instead of Other Alloys

From our export experience, customers switch to 1060 mainly for these reasons:

1. Fewer Problems During Production

Some materials look fine at first, but crack during spinning or drawing.

1060 aluminum circle performs much more stable, especially in:

• Deep drawing
• Spinning
• Stretch forming

2. Better Surface for Finished Products

For cookware and lighting, surface matters.

Our circles are:

• Clean
• Smooth
• Without obvious scratches or oil marks

This helps reduce polishing time on your side.

3. Good Heat Transfer (Important for Cookware)

If you are making pots or pans, this is critical.

1060 aluminum heats fast and evenly, which improves cooking performance.

Typical Specifications We Supply

We don’t limit customers to fixed sizes. Most orders are customized.

Common range:

• Thickness: 0.4mm – 6.0mm
• Diameter: 100mm – 1200mm
• Temper: O / H14 / H24

If you are not sure about temper, we usually suggest:

• O temper → for deep drawing
• H14 → for general use

Just tell us your application, we can recommend.

Applications We Work With

We have supplied 1060 aluminum circles for:

Cookware Manufacturers

• Frying pans
• Cooking pots
• Pressure cookers

This is the most common application.

Lighting Industry

• Lamp covers
• Reflectors

Customers usually require better surface quality here.

General Metal Processing

• Spinning parts
• Industrial containers

If your product involves forming aluminum, 1060 is often a safe choice.

How We Control Quality

We understand that for you, one bad batch can delay production.

So we pay attention to details like:

• Raw material selection (stable aluminum coil source)
• Blanking accuracy (consistent diameter, less waste)
• Annealing control (ensures proper softness)
• Surface inspection before shipment

Before shipping, we can also:

• Send photos/videos
• Provide sample pieces
• Arrange third-party inspection if needed

About Packaging

For export orders, we usually use:

• Wooden pallets
• Moisture-proof wrapping
• Paper or plastic interleaving

This helps avoid damage and oxidation during long shipping.

1060 vs 1050 – Quick Suggestion

Some customers ask whether to choose 1050 or 1060.

Our honest suggestion:

• If your product is not demanding, 1050 is OK
• If you want more stable forming and fewer defects, go with 1060

The price difference is usually small, but it can save trouble later.

Small Advice Before You Order

If this is your first time purchasing from a new supplier, we recommend:

• Test small quantity first
• Confirm temper carefully
• Check surface quality after unpacking

We are always open to sample orders before bulk production.
