The aluminum content of 1060 aluminum plate is 99.6%, also known as pure aluminum plate. 1060 aluminum plate has good elongation and tensile strength, can meet conventional processing requirements (stamping, drawing), and has high formability. 1060 aluminum plate is industrial pure aluminum with high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, but its strength is low and heat treatment cannot enhance the machinability. It can be used for gas welding, hydrogen atom welding and contact welding, and is not easy to solder. Weldable; easily withstands a variety of pre-treatments. Pressure processing, stretching, bending.
Aluminum materials are now widely used. What is the difference between the commonly used 1060 aluminum plates and 6061 materials?
1. Differences in alloys
1060 aluminum plate is a pure aluminum plate with a purity of over 99.00%. Since it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively simple, and it is a series commonly used in conventional industries.
6061 aluminum plate is an aluminum alloy plate. The main alloying elements are magnesium and silicon. Medium strength, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, good oxidation effect, complex process.
2. Use of aluminum plate
1060 aluminum plate is widely used in products that do not require high strength.
Products are commonly used in signboards, billboards, building exterior decorations, bus bodies, high-rise building and factory wall decorations, kitchen sinks, lamp holders, fan blades, electronic parts, chemical instruments, thin plate processing parts, deep drawing or spinning concave parts. Shaped utensils, welded parts, heat exchangers, clock surfaces and disks, nameplates, kitchenware, decorations, reflective equipment, etc.
6061 aluminum plates are required for a variety of industrial structural parts with relatively high strength, weldability and corrosion resistance, such as manufacturing trucks, built-in buildings, ships, trams, furniture, mechanical parts, precision machining, industrial materials, etc.
3. Price difference
1060 aluminum plate is a pure aluminum plate. The production process is relatively simple and the price is cheap.
6061 aluminum plate is an aluminum alloy plate. The production process is complicated and the price is expensive.
