Advantages of 1060 Aluminium Strip
Production Process
The production process is simple, with mature technology, offering a significant price advantage over other high-end alloy Aluminium strips.
Mechanical Properties
Good elongation and tensile strength meet conventional processing requirements and showcase high formability.
Weldability
Capable of gas welding, hydrogen atomic welding, and contact welding, though not easy to braze.
Machinability
While it has high plasticity, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity, its strength is low, and heat treatment cannot enhance its machinability.
Applications of 1060 Aluminium Strip
1060 Aluminium Strip finds use in various applications due to its unique properties:
Transformer Winding
Used for making transformer winding materials, improving efficiency and stability.
Injection Bottle Sealing
Common in many countries due to ease of manufacturing and cost-effectiveness.
Mask Nose Bridge Strips
Produced by stamping, offering a smooth surface and high breaking force.
Heat Sinks
Used to manufacture radiators for computers, LED lights, etc., for excellent heat dissipation.
Comparison with 1050 Aluminium Strip
While both are pure Aluminium alloys, differences exist:
- Chemical Composition: Aluminium 1050 contains 99.5% aluminium, while aluminium 1060 has 99.6% aluminium.
- Mechanical Properties: 1050 has slightly higher tensile strength and elongation.
- Applications: 1060 has a slightly higher Aluminium content and better formability, and is suitable for areas with high requirements for formability. Overall, the chemical composition and mechanical properties of 1050 and 1060 are very similar, and there is not much difference in their applications. In practical applications, due to its price advantage, 1050 can almost replace 1060 Aluminium.
- Price: 1050 is slightly cheaper due to composition and properties differences.
