1060 aluminum strips belong to the 1000 series industrial pure aluminum, with an aluminum content ≥99.6% and extremely low impurities (iron ≤0.35%, silicon ≤0.25%, copper ≤0.05%). Its excellent ductility, corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, and ease of processing make it the most in-demand pure aluminum strip category in the North American market. The 1060 aluminium strips are widly used in multiple industries in North America, including construction, electronics, packaging, and manufacturing.
The wide range of applications for 1060 aluminum strip stems from its outstanding characteristics and comprehensive specification coverage. BCM, utilizes high-purity aluminum ingots and hydraulic servo rolling technology to ensure a smooth, burr-free, and consistently high-quality 1060 pure aluminum strip that meets North American standards and is suitable for precision machining requirements. BCM strictly adhere to the ASTM B209 standard, precisely matching local needs:
- Core characteristics:
Aluminum content ≥99.6%, soft texture, excellent ductility, easy stamping and welding, easy formation of a dense oxide film on the surface, resistance to atmospheric and weak acid/alkali corrosion, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, outstanding cost-effectiveness, suitable for applications where strength requirements are not high and processability and corrosion resistance are prioritized.
- Core Specifications:
Thickness 0.1mm-3.0mm, width 10mm-200mm (suitable for narrow aluminum strip widths), with stringent tolerance control. Width, length, and surface condition can be customized (annealed O state, work-hardened H12/H14/H18, etc.). Thin strips emphasize flexible processing, while thick strips emphasize structural protection, adapting to diverse applications.
Based on market demands, 1060 aluminum strip's core applications are concentrated in four major areas, each with clearly defined specifications to suit its needs, leveraging the narrow width and ease of processing inherent in aluminum strip:
