1060 Aluminum Rod
1060 aluminum rods (industrial pure aluminum, aluminum content ≥99.6%) are non-heat-treated strengthening alloys. The leading Chinese factory primarily supplies them in the O temper (annealed) and H series work-hardened states, with a small quantity in the F temper (free-machining state) and H112/H111 temper (hot-worked state).
1060 aluminum rods are high-purity industrial pure aluminum with an aluminum content exceeding 99.6%. They possess excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and outstanding resistance to atmospheric corrosion. The material exhibits excellent plasticity, allowing for easy and convenient bending, stamping, and welding, resulting in a smooth and clean surface. This material is lightweight but has relatively low overall strength, making it suitable for various light-load applications. With its high cost-effectiveness and stable overall performance, it is widely used in electrical conductive components, heat dissipation components, chemical corrosion-resistant parts, decorative profiles, and various stamped products.

Key Points for Aluminum Rod Manufacturer's Recommendation on Condition Selection
1. Forming Difficulty: Choose O temper for complex forming, H14/H24 for simple bending, and H18 for no deformation requirements.
2. Strength Requirements: Strength increasing order is O < H12 < H14 < H16 < H18.
3. Processing Method: O temper is preferred for welded parts; any H series temper can be selected for machined parts.
1060 aluminum rods do not have T series heat treatment tempers (non-heat-treatable strengthened alloys). Performance is controlled through cold working + annealing processes in all tempers.
