1060 aluminum wire is a high-purity aluminum wire with a minimum aluminum content of 99.6%. It offers excellent electrical conductivity, superior corrosion resistance, and very good formability. Compared with 1100 aluminum wire, 1060 provides higher conductivity and slightly improved mechanical performance, making it suitable for electrical, industrial, and thermal applications where higher purity is required.
