1060 anodized aluminium sheet

Among the most popular anodised aluminium products, the 1060 anodized aluminium sheet is used extensively in industries from plane building to handicraft making. Its specifications are as below.

Alloy: 1060

Temper:O-H112

Thickness: 0.1mm-20mm

Surface treatment: anodized

Color: blue, gold, rose gold, black, white, green etc.

Features

In comparison to a common 1060 aluminium sheet, a 1060 anodized aluminium plate has the following features and advantages.

1. Stronger in hardness. Anodizing is an electrolytic passivation process applied to improve the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts, mostly aluminium parts. In such a process the aluminium sheet function as the anode and a layer of oxide film comes into being on its surface. The film, between 0.06mm to 0.15mm thick, is hard and protective.

2. Better in corrosion resistance. Experiments show that an anodized aluminium sheet withstand salt fog for 95 hours without being corroded on the surface.

3. More wear resistant. In the first place, the oxide film is strong and hard. In the second place, abundant micro holes in the film layer adsorbs paint primers and lubricants in further coating process. The coating layer serves as a protector against alien forces and corrosive chemicals.

4. More decorative and durable. A large number of micro pores in the oxide film, showing a strong adsorption ability, can adsorb various paints to cover the sheet surface thick porous coating that add interference effects to reflected light. Improved performances of the 1060 anodized aluminium sheet surface in hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance help to extend service life of the sheet substantially.

Application

1060 anodized aluminium sheet is widely used in mechanical wear-resistant parts, engine cylinders, aircraft auto parts, precision instruments, building decoration, machine housing, lighting, consumer electronics, crafts, household appliances, interior decoration, signage, furniture, automotive decoration and so on. Take interior decoration for example, the sheets are made into panels for ceiling, curtain walls, fire-proof walls etc.
