Title

As one of the most commonly used base materials, 1060 aluminum circle discs are widely applied across multiple industries due to their high purity (Al content ≥99.6%), excellent ductility, and superior processing adaptability. They are commonly used in cookware production, lighting manufacturing, as well as in signage and automotive components.

Most 1060 aluminum circles are manufactured through continuous hot rolling or cast rolling processes and then processed into standard discs through stretching, stamping, and shearing. HAOMEI Aluminum can customize discs with different diameters, thicknesses, and surface treatments, including anodizing, mirror polishing, and coating, according to customer requirements.

Applications of 1060 Aluminum Blanks

Cookware / Kitchen Utensils

Many everyday kitchen items, such as kettles, cups, and pots, are made by stamping 1060 aluminum discs. Their excellent thermal conductivity ensures rapid and even heat distribution, improving cooking efficiency.

Beyond heat conductivity, 1060 aluminum discs offer outstanding corrosion resistance, ensuring that cookware can withstand high temperature and humidity conditions in the kitchen for over 15 years.

Moreover, 1060 aluminum round plates meet food contact safety standards, ensuring that they do not contaminate food and are safe for daily use.

Lighting and Reflective Equipment

In lighting applications, 1060 aluminum discs are often used for lamp covers, reflectors, and decorative caps. With anodizing or mirror polishing, they can achieve a reflectivity of over 85%, providing excellent light reflection and aesthetic appeal. These discs are widely used in LED lighting, industrial lamps, and stage lighting.

Lamp shades and reflectors are often produced using spun or stamped 1060 aluminum discs to ensure effective light convergence and dispersion.

Signage and Automotive Components

Due to their corrosion resistance and ease of processing, 1060 aluminum discs are commonly used as bases for traffic signs, decorative plates, and advertising boards. Their lightweight nature helps reduce transportation and installation costs.

Additionally, the excellent weather resistance of 1060 aluminum discs allows them to withstand wind, sun, and rain, maintaining surface gloss and reflective performance over long-term use.

Electrical and Electronic Components

In the electronics and electrical industry, 1060 aluminum discs are valued for their excellent electrical conductivity and thermal performance. They are used in electronic device housings, cable shielding layers, and transformer components.

In electrical engineering, conductive parts made from 1060 aluminum discs can efficiently transmit current, while their superior thermal conductivity aids in heat dissipation. This improves system stability and extends service life, making them widely used in heat sinks, heat exchangers, and other thermal management products.

Specifications of 1060 Aluminum Discs

Diameters typically range from 100mm to 1200mm, with thicknesses from 0.5mm to 6mm. Custom designs are also available.

We offer various hardnesses, including H0 (soft), H14, and H24.

Surface treatments include anodizing, brushing, spray coating, and mirror polishing.

Production Processes of 1060 Aluminum Circle Discs

1060 aluminum discs are mainly produced by cold rolling and hot rolling.

Cold-rolled discs: High surface accuracy, suitable for busbars, lighting, signage, curtain walls, and other applications requiring superior surface quality.

Hot-rolled discs: Lower cost, primarily used in automotive parts (such as soft connections for battery packs) and industrial mass production.

Comparison of 1060 with Other Aluminum Alloy Discs

• 1050 vs 1060: Both are pure aluminum, but 1060 offers slightly higher strength and better processing performance.

• 1070 vs 1060: 1070 has 99.7% purity, making it softer, but less suitable for heavy-duty applications.

• 3003 vs 1060: 3003 contains manganese to increase strength, while 1060 is purer, more ductile, and more cost-effective.
