What is 1060 Aluminum Circle?
1060 aluminum circle is a high-purity aluminum round blank used for deep drawing, spinning, pressing and other forming processes. As a 1xxx series alloy, 1060 offers good ductility, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, making it suitable for cookware, lighting components, heat-transfer parts and general formed products.
The material is commonly supplied in O, H12 and H14 tempers to match different forming requirements. O temper is preferred for deeper drawing, while harder tempers provide greater rigidity for shallower forming or spinning.
Supplying 1060 in circle or disc form reduces material preparation before production. Shandong Union can provide custom diameter, thickness, temper and surface condition to match the finished part and forming process.
Its uses include pots, pans, lids, kettles, lamp housings, reflectors and industrial round components.

Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of 1060 aluminum circles depend on temper and thickness. Softer tempers provide greater ductility for deep drawing, while harder tempers offer higher strength and better shape retention for spinning and formed components.
| Temper | Tensile Strength | Yield Strength* | Elongation* | Forming Performance |
| O | 60–95 MPa | ≥15 MPa | High | Best for deep drawing |
| H12 | 70–105 MPa | ≥55 MPa | Medium–High | Balanced forming and strength |
| H14 | 85–120 MPa | ≥70 MPa | Medium | Better rigidity and shape retention |
- 1060-O is commonly selected for deep-drawn cookware and parts requiring greater deformation. H12 suits general pressing and spinning where both formability and strength are required.
- H14 is better suited to shallower forming and components requiring higher rigidity.
Mechanical properties vary with thickness and the applicable material specification. Values should be confirmed against the required temper and order standard.
1060 Aluminum Circle Tempers: O vs. H12 vs. H14
Temper selection affects how a 1060 aluminum disc behaves during deep drawing, spinning and pressing. O temper provides the greatest ductility, while H12 and H14 offer progressively higher strength and shape retention. The suitable temper should be selected according to forming depth, part geometry and finished-part rigidity.
1060-O — For Deep Drawing
1060 O aluminum circle is the softest of the three tempers and provides the highest formability. It is preferred for deep-drawn cookware, deep containers and parts requiring substantial deformation with a lower risk of cracking during forming.
Processes: Deep drawing / Multi-stage drawing / Complex forming
1060-H12 — Balanced Formability and Strength
1060 H12 aluminum circle has a higher strength level than O temper while retaining good ductility. It is suitable for general pressing, spinning and moderately formed components where the finished part requires more rigidity without significantly limiting fabrication.
Processes: Spinning / Pressing / Moderate drawing
1060-H14 — Higher Rigidity
1060 H14 aluminum circle provides higher strength and hardness with less available deformation than O or H12. It is generally selected for shallow-drawn, spun or pressed parts where dimensional stability and shape retention are more important than deep forming.
Processes: Shallow drawing / Spinning / Pressing
Temper Selection: Choose 1060-O for deep drawing, H12 for a balance of forming performance and strength, and H14 for parts requiring higher rigidity with less severe deformation.
