1060-H14 Aluminum

1060-H14 aluminum alloy refers to 1060 aluminum with an H14 temper, which means it has undergone partial cold working to achieve medium hardness while maintaining good formability.

Hardness State of 1060-H14 Aluminum

H14 Temper: H14 is one of the hardness states of aluminum alloys, indicating that the material has undergone a certain degree of cold working, but not to the point of full hardness. Specifically, aluminum alloys in the H14 temper are typically cold worked or stretched after annealing (O temper), significantly improving their strength while retaining good formability and machinability. Compared to H18 (fully hard state), H14 offers moderate hardness, with high plasticity, making it suitable for applications requiring good formability and welding performance.

Properties of 1060-H14 Aluminum

Strength: Compared to the annealed (O temper) 1060 aluminum, 1060-H14 aluminum alloy has higher strength, although it is still lower than that of some high-strength aluminum alloys. Specifically, the yield strength and tensile strength of the H14 temper are higher than those of the O temper, but not as rigid as the H18 temper.
Formability and Machinability: 1060-H14 aluminum retains good formability, making it easy to shape, weld, shear, and process. It is particularly suitable for applications that require high formability and machinability.
Corrosion Resistance: Pure aluminum (such as 1060 aluminum alloy) exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and maintains good stability in most environments.
Weldability: 1060-H14 aluminum alloy has excellent weldability and is suitable for various welding methods, such as fusion welding and aluminum alloy welding.
Surface Treatment: Due to its high purity, 1060-H14 aluminum alloy performs well in anodizing, coating, and other surface treatments.

Applications of 1060-H14 Aluminum

Electronic Device Enclosures: Due to its excellent formability and good surface treatment performance, 1060-H14 aluminum is widely used in the manufacture of enclosures for electronic products such as mobile phones, televisions, and computers.
Aluminum Conductors for Cables: 1060 aluminum alloy is commonly used to make aluminum conductors with good electrical conductivity, especially in cable applications.
Metal Packaging Materials: 1060-H14 aluminum alloy is frequently used in aluminum strips, foils, and other metal packaging materials. Its good machinability and corrosion resistance make it suitable for applications such as food packaging and pharmaceutical packaging.
Building Decoration Materials: 1060-H14 aluminum is widely used in the construction industry due to its excellent machinability and weldability, including applications in curtain walls, doors, windows, and decorative strips.
Automotive Components: Some automotive exterior or interior parts use 1060-H14 aluminum alloy to reduce weight and improve machinability.
