George Metals is the trusted supplier of aluminum solutions to the USA located in Houston. It offers superior quality Aluminum 1060 Forgings from its well resourced works. The organisation manufactures an extensive catalogue of aluminum forgings with the commitment to precision and excellence fulfilled to meet the varied requirements of industries that require different types. Aluminum 1060 is used because of its outstanding corrosion resistance, very good formability and electrical conductivity, making it the perfect application for lightweight but strong. George Metals adheres to high quality levels on all products that it supplies, and so is a valuable partner to businesses which require superior class aluminum forging solutions.
Al 1060 forgings are made from 99.6% aluminum. The small percentage of trace elements includes iron (<0.35%), copper (<0.05%), manganese (<0.03%), silicon (<0.25%), zinc (<0.10%), and titanium <0.03%. Some good properties of this alloy include thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability with an average tensile strength of 55 to 90 MPa, yield strength of 40 to 75 MPa, and elongations of 18% to 25%, and hardiness. and high ductility is important (which is why it’s used with good formability) along with it being weldable. The material is specifically used for lightweight applications, with great corrosion resistance, and is mainly in the electrical and chemical sectors.

Aluminum 1060 offers high corrosion resistance, excellent workability, good weldability, and enhanced electrical conductivity, making it ideal for custom forgings in industries requiring lightweight, durable, and malleable components.
Aluminum 1060 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications due to its low strength and relatively low melting point. It is more suited for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance and formability.
Aluminum 1060 forgings are extensively used by many varying industries that require remarkable corrosion resistance in addition to high ease of working and superior electrical and thermal conductivity. Some of the most typical applications include manufacturing aerospace, automobile and electrical industry components like heat exchangers electrical busbars or precise parts. It is primarily used in non-structural applications because of its lower strength. Aluminum 1060 forgings are used for food processing equipment, components of chemical plants, and general decorative applications because of their ability to resist corrosion in different environments. It is suited very well for forming complex shapes and designs.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
