The A1060 H14 aluminum is a commercially pure aluminum alloy in the 1xxx series. With a minimum aluminum content of 99.60%, it offers excellent formability, high corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity, and a bright surface finish. The H14 temper (strain hardened to 1/4 hard) provides a balanced combination of strength and workability, making it one of the most popular choices for architectural panels, chemical equipment, reflectors, and general sheet metal fabrication.
As a direct manufacturer, we supply high-quality A1060 H14 aluminum sheet, plate, and coil with stable mechanical properties, precise dimensional tolerance, and full mill test certificates. This guide covers everything buyers need to know — from chemical composition and hardness to real-world applications, price factors, and how to order.
What Is A1060 H14 Aluminum?
A1060 H14 aluminum refers to aluminum alloy 1060 in the H14 temper. The “1060” indicates a minimum aluminum purity of 99.60%. The “H14” temper means the material has been strain hardened (cold worked) and then partially annealed to achieve approximately 1/4 hard condition.
This combination delivers:
- Good strength compared to O temper
- Excellent formability compared to H18 or H24
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Bright, attractive surface finish
- Non-toxic and food-safe properties
Because of these characteristics, aluminum 1060 h14 is widely used in industries that require both workability and moderate strength without the need for heat treatment.
Chemical Composition of A1060 Aluminum
The high purity of A1060 is the foundation of its excellent corrosion resistance and formability.
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|
| Aluminum (Al) | ≥ 99.60 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.35 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.25 |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Magnesium (Mg) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Titanium (Ti) | ≤ 0.03 |
| Others (each) | ≤ 0.03 |
The very low levels of copper, manganese, and magnesium ensure outstanding corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.
Mechanical Properties of A1060 H14 Aluminum
The aluminum 1060 h14 temper offers a balanced mechanical profile suitable for bending, stamping, and light drawing.
| Property | O Temper (Annealed) | H14 Temper | H18 Temper | H24 Temper |
|---|
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 60 – 95 | 95 – 125 | 125 – 155 | 110 – 140 |
| Yield Strength (MPa) | 20 – 35 | 70 – 100 | 110 – 130 | 80 – 110 |
| Elongation (%) | 25 – 35 | 4 – 8 | 2 – 5 | 5 – 10 |
| Hardness (HB) | 18 – 22 | 28 – 35 | 38 – 45 | 32 – 38 |
| Density (g/cm³) | 2.70 | 2.70 | 2.70 | 2.70 |
Aluminum 1060 hardness in H14 temper typically falls between 28–35 HB, making it suitable for applications that require moderate rigidity while still allowing cold forming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is aluminum 1060 h14 used for?
It is widely used for architectural panels, signs, chemical equipment, lighting reflectors, and general sheet metal fabrication where moderate strength and good formability are required.
What is the hardness of aluminum 1060 h14?
The typical Brinell hardness of aluminum 1060 h14 is 28–35 HB.
What is the difference between A1060 H14 and H18?
H14 is 1/4 hard with better formability, while H18 is full hard with higher strength but lower ductility. H14 is more suitable for bending and stamping.
What is the difference between aluminum 1060 h14 and h24?
H24 has slightly higher strength than H14 because it is closer to half-hard. H14 offers better formability, while H24 is used when more rigidity is needed.
Do you provide material test reports?
Yes. We provide mill test certificates (MTC) showing chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensions with every shipment.
