1060 H22 Aluminum

1060 H22 aluminum alloy is a deformed hardened product of 1060 aluminum in the H22 condition. Its strength and hardness are between the fully annealed (O condition) and fully hard (H28 condition) states, offering excellent formability, ductility, and good strength. It is suitable for applications that require moderate hardness and workability.

H22 Condition 1060 Aluminum

The H22 condition indicates that 1060 aluminum has undergone two stages of partial cold-working hardening (such as cold rolling or cold extrusion) and is then partially annealed at the end, resulting in a higher strength than the H14 (partially hardened) condition while still maintaining good formability and ductility.

1060 H22 Aluminum Alloy Composition

1060 aluminum alloy belongs to the pure aluminum series and contains more than 99% aluminum content, with almost no other alloying elements. Due to its high purity, it exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance and good electrical conductivity.
