What Are 1060 Aluminum Circles?
1060 aluminum circles (AA1060/Al 99.6) are precision-cut circular blanks manufactured from high-purity aluminum sheets containing minimum 99.6% aluminum content. These versatile discs are produced using advanced cutting technologies including:
- Laser cutting for high precision requirements
- Water jet cutting for thicker materials
- Stamping for high-volume production

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between 1060 and 3003 aluminum circles?
A: 1060 has higher purity (99.6% vs 96-99%), better electrical/thermal conductivity, but 3003 offers superior strength and corrosion resistance. Choose 1060 for conductivity needs, 3003 for strength requirements.
Q: Can 1060 aluminum circles be deep drawn?
A: Yes, especially in O-temper condition. With 35% elongation rate, 1060-O is excellent for deep drawing applications like cookware and lampshades.
Q: What's your standard packaging method?
A: Circles are interleaved with paper, wrapped in plastic film, packed in wooden cases with desiccant bags. Custom packaging available upon request.
Q: Do you provide cut-to-size services?
A: Yes, we offer precision cutting to your exact specifications with tolerances as tight as ±0.02mm for critical applications.
