The difference between 1060 O aluminum plate and 1060 H24 aluminum plate

The Difference Between 1060 O Aluminum Plate And 1060 H24 Aluminum Plate

2021.06.15

1060 aluminum plate is a pure aluminum alloy, with an aluminum content of 99.6%, which is a commonly used aluminum alloy. Good elongation and tensile strength make 1060 aluminum plate highly praised in the market. I often hear from customers asking what is the difference between 1060 O aluminum sheet and 1060 H24 aluminum sheet.

First of all, we must know that the O state is a state of the aluminum plate, which is the product of the aluminum plate after annealing. Aluminum alloys of the same grade are divided into two different forms: O state and H state.

From the production process, the O state aluminum plate is formed by crystallization after complete annealing, and H24 is the state of incomplete annealing after work hardening.

In terms of physical properties: the O state aluminum plate is softer, while the H24 state aluminum plate is relatively harder than the O state. That is to say, the hardness of the 1060 aluminum plate in the H24 state is greater than that of the 1060 aluminum plate in the O state.

In terms of the scope of use: because the O-state aluminum plate is relatively soft, it is easy to bend and deepen, and is mainly used in various industries such as decoration, packaging, and so on. The H24 state is harder and can be used for wire drawing, cutting, and bending. It is generally used in curtain wall, machining and other industries.
