What Makes 1060 Aluminum Plate Stand Out in Conductivity?

As a typical commercial pure aluminum, 1060 aluminum plate has a core advantage: 99.6% high aluminum purity. This nearly impurity-free composition directly gives it 55% electrical conductivity—a level far higher than most alloy aluminum materials. Moreover, strict control of trace impurities (Si≤0.25%, Cu≤0.05%) further avoids conductive performance loss, ensuring stable current transmission.​

Core Properties of 1060 Aluminum Plate​

1.Conductivity & Thermal Conductivity Correlation: While it excels in electrical conductivity, 1060 aluminum plate also has 200-230 W/m·K thermal conductivity. The positive connection between the two means it can simultaneously meet the needs of current transmission and heat transfer.​

2.Excellent Processability: Despite its outstanding conductive performance, it maintains high formability—able to be processed into complex shapes via stamping and stretching. Even in H24 temper, it can achieve 90-degree bending without cracking, balancing performance and processing convenience.​

3.Stable Performance Across Tempers: Its conductive property is hardly affected by temper. O temper (soft state) is flexible for forming, while H18 temper has higher hardness—both keep consistent conductivity, adapting to different usage scenarios.​

Performance Optimization Tip​

If corrosion resistance is required, 1060 aluminum plate can be treated with anodizing to form a dense protective film, which does not damage its conductive performance while extending service life.​

We provide 1060 aluminum plate in full specifications (0.01mm-500mm) with internal stress relief treatment to prevent cutting deformation, fully matching the application needs of its core properties.
