VT machining offers CNC Centerless Grinding for 1060 Aluminum (UNS A91060 / EN AW-1060), typically supplied O / H14. Slightly purer than 1050 for higher electrical conductivity (~61% IACS).
CNC Centerless Grinding Notes for 1060 Aluminum
Soft 1060 Aluminum can load conventional wheels, so we use open-structure or silicon-carbide wheels and plenty of coolant.
