1060 Aluminum Alloy Yield Strength

Introduction of 1060 Aluminum Alloy Yield Strength

Yield Strength of 1060 Aluminum Alloy

The 1060 aluminum sheet has excellent yield strength. At 25°C, 1060 aluminum alloy yield strength is 90 MPa, which is in the middle position from 1 series aluminum alloy to 8 series aluminum. For the conditions with high elongation, excellent electrical conductivity, high formability or other conventional processing (stamping, drawing), and 1060 aluminum alloy price. Comprehensive consideration, 1060 aluminum sheet is one of the ideal choices.

Yield Strength

When the yielding phenomenon occurs in aluminum alloy, for example, when 1060 aluminum alloy is subjected to external deformation (force, humidity, temperature field change, etc.) and yield deformation during processing, an internal force of interaction between the various parts of the 1060 aluminum alloy is generated, trying to make the alloy plate return from the deformed position to the position before the deformation. In this physical phenomenon, the maximum stress that can be generated inside the 1060 aluminum alloy is the yield strength.

Yield Strength and Deformation of 1060 Aluminum Sheet

The larger the 1060 aluminum alloy yield strength is, the greater the internal deformation resistance of aluminum 1060 is, which greater than the external force, and 1060 aluminum alloy plate will return to its original appearance.
On the contrary, the smaller the 1060 aluminum alloy yield strength is, 1060 aluminum alloy cannot recover the prototype and permanently fails.

Heat Treatment Process of 1060 Aluminum Alloy Plate

Meaning of Heat Treatment Process

Metal heat treatment such as Aluminum plate is one of the important processes in mechanical manufacturing. Heat treatment is different from other processes such as 1060 surface treatment process. By changing the microstructure inside 1060 alloy or the chemical composition on the surface of 1060 alloy (the overall chemical composition will not change), heat treatment endowing or improving the mechanical, physical and chemical properties required by 1060 aluminum alloy, such as tensile strength, yield strength, residual stress, etc. Therefore, the selected heat treatment process is different, and the performance of the 1060 aluminum plate produced will also be affected.

Selection of Heat Treatment Process

Rapid annealing: heating temperature 350-410℃. The effective thickness of 1060 aluminum alloy plate is different, the holding time is between 30 and 120 minutes. Then being cool with air or water.

High temperature annealing: heating temperature 350 ~ 500℃. When the thickness of the finished product is ≥6mm, the holding time is 10~30min, and when the thickness is <6mm, the heat is allowed to pass through. 1060 aluminum alloy is then cooled with air. Low temperature annealing: heating temperature 150 ~ 250 ℃. The holding time is 2 to 3 hours. Being Cooled with air or water.

Process Advantage of Mingtai 1060 Aluminum Alloy

1. Plate thickness accuracy: When faced with strict thickness tolerance requirements for processed products, ordinary manufacturers need to use thicker aluminum alloy plates for comprehensive cutting, while the thickness of Mingtai 1060 aluminum plate is extremely precise, no thicker alloy is required for partial cutting. Significant reductions in material costs, processing fees and working hours.

2. Straightness: The Mingtai 1060 aluminum plate has excellent flatness, and similarly, it is not necessary to cut the raised portion from a thicker original.

3.Residual stress: Residual stress of Mingtai aluminum 1060 before processing is controlled to a minimum, which greatly reduces the degree of deformation of the sheet after processing, effectively reducing the return process and reducing the trimming operation.
