### **1060-H12 Aluminum Alloy Product Introduction** **1. Overview** 1060-H12 is a strain-hardened temper of commercially pure 1060 aluminum alloy, representing a quarter-hard condition. As part of the 1xxx series of non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys, the "H12" temper designation indicates the material has been strain-hardened to achieve a strength level approximately one-quarter of the way between the O (annealed) temper and H18 (full-hard) temper. This temper offers an optimal balance between strength and formability, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate strength with good workability. **2.
