VT machining offers CNC Press Brake Forming for 1060 Aluminum (UNS A91060 / EN AW-1060), typically supplied O / H14. Slightly purer than 1050 for higher electrical conductivity (~61% IACS).
CNC Press Brake Forming Notes for 1060 Aluminum
1060 Aluminum bends to a tight inside radius (about 1× thickness) in this condition.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 1060 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.
