What is Aluminum 1060 Pipe?
Aluminum 1060 (UNS A91060) belongs to the 1000-series commercially pure aluminum family.
With a minimum aluminum content of 99.6%, it offers:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- High thermal conductivity
- High electrical conductivity
- Excellent formability
- Outstanding weldability
- Lightweight construction
- Good reflectivity
Because of its purity, Aluminum 1060 is commonly used where corrosion resistance and conductivity are more important than mechanical strength.
