High Conductivity Aluminum Strips

High conductivity aluminum strip is an aluminum product with excellent electrical conductivity, widely used in the electronics, power, and communications industries.

Types of high conductivity aluminum strips including:
- 1060 Aluminum Strip:
Containing over 99.6% aluminum, it is industrially pure aluminum with excellent conductivity. In the annealed state, its conductivity can reach 62% IACS (International Standard for Annealed Copper), meeting the requirements for high-conductivity aluminum strip. This material is widely used in power transmission, electronic and electrical connection components, and other fields. Due to its high conductivity and corrosion resistance, it is a preferred material for high-current transmission and distribution.
- 1050 Aluminum Strip:
Containing 99.5% aluminum, it is also industrially pure aluminum with excellent conductivity. Its conductivity is close to 61% IACS, suitable for applications requiring high conductivity, such as chemical instruments, thin sheet metal parts, and welded parts. This material ensures conductivity while also possessing good formability and corrosion resistance.
- 1070 Aluminum Strip:
Aluminum content ≥99.7%, total impurity elements ≤0.3%, conductivity approximately 62% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), close to the theoretical limit of pure aluminum, thermal conductivity approximately 237 W/(m·K). Applications include power transmission (wires and cables), electronic heat dissipation (heat sinks, LED lamp holders), heat exchanger manufacturing, and other fields with extremely high requirements for electrical and thermal conductivity.
- 1100 Aluminum Strip:
Aluminum content 99.00%, conductivity meets national standards, slightly lower than 1070 aluminum strip, but still meets power conduction requirements. Applications include power transmission lines, heat sinks, battery casings, and other fields with high conductivity requirements but cost sensitivity.
- 6061 Aluminum Strip:
Belongs to wrought aluminum alloys, conductivity 43% IACS. Although conductivity is slightly lower than pure aluminum series, after solution heat treatment (e.g., T6 condition), its tensile strength can reach over 290 MPa, and its yield strength is not less than 240 MPa. This material possesses excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, along with non-magnetic properties, making it suitable for environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference, such as automated mechanical parts, precision machining, and mold manufacturing.
