1. What are the common applications of 1060 aluminum checker plate?
1060 aluminum checker plate is commonly used in applications requiring anti-slip surfaces and light-duty strength. These include:
Truck bed floors and trailer ramps
Cold storage room walls and floors
Stair treads and platforms
Decorative wall cladding and ceilings
In the H24 or H14 temper, 1060 aluminum tread plate provides enough hardness to resist wear while maintaining easy formability. Compared to other aluminum sheet and plate products, its high aluminum content (>99.6%) ensures excellent corrosion resistance in humid and low-temperature environments.
2. What surface patterns are available for 1060 aluminum checker plates?
Customers often ask about the texture options on 1060 aluminum checker sheet. Common surface patterns include:
Five-bar aluminum checker plate
Diamond aluminum tread plate
One-bar or single-rib patterns
These surface textures not only offer anti-slip functionality but also enhance aesthetics, making 1060 embossed aluminum plate popular in both industrial and architectural settings.
3. What is the difference between 1060 checker plate and 3003 checker plate?
Both 1060 aluminum checker plate and 3003 aluminum tread plate are widely used, but they differ in strength and corrosion resistance:
1060 checker plate: Higher purity (99.6% Al), better electrical conductivity, lower strength, better suited for cold storage, cladding, and lightweight floors.
3003 checker plate: Alloyed with manganese (approx. 1.2%), offering higher strength and better performance under load—ideal for truck ramps and heavy-duty flooring.
Customers seeking more structural durability often compare these options, depending on the application environment and budget.
4. What tempers are available for 1060 aluminum checker plate?
GNEE’s 1060 aluminum checker plate is available in various tempers to meet processing and performance needs:
1060-H14 aluminum checker plate: Semi-hard, good for light fabrication and forming
1060-H24 aluminum tread plate: Medium-hard with enhanced wear resistance
1060-O aluminum checker sheet: Soft condition, used for forming and shaping
Each 1060 aluminum alloy plate temper affects the mechanical properties and suitability for specific applications. GNEE offers tailored cutting and forming services for each use case.
