1060 O aluminum refers to the 1060 aluminum alloy in its annealed (O state) form. 1060 aluminum alloy itself is a high-purity aluminum-based alloy, typically containing more than 99.6% aluminum. Its performance characteristics vary in different states (such as F, O, H, etc.), with the O state representing the material after annealing, providing the highest ductility and good formability.
1060 O aluminum is a high-purity aluminum alloy (aluminum content of 99.6%) in the annealed (O) state, offering excellent formability and high ductility. The "O" state indicates that the material has been softened by heat treatment, making it easier to form and process compared to other states. While its strength is relatively low, it excels in applications requiring good corrosion resistance, high thermal and electrical conductivity, and ease of manufacturing, such as in the production of aluminum foil, containers, and electrical components.
