1060 aluminum slug surface treatment
Mill finish
Mill finish is the original state of the aluminum surface without any subsequent treatment, also known as the "rolled surface" or "factory surface".
Shot blasting
Shot blasting is a process that uses high-speed abrasive particles to clean or strengthen metal surfaces. This method uses mechanical equipment to spray metal shots or other particles at high speed onto the surface of the workpiece to remove impurities, strengthen the material or improve the surface texture.
Tumbled
Tumbled refers to a process of surface processing of materials or workpieces through tumbling process. This process usually involves placing the workpiece and abrasive together in a rotating drum or vibrating machine to achieve the effect of cleaning, polishing or deburring through physical friction, impact and grinding.
Below is a display of the three surface treatments for the 1060 aluminum slug:

1060 aluminum slug production process
- Raw material smelting: Melt high-purity aluminum ingots to ensure that the alloy composition meets the 1060 standard.
- Casting and rolling: Molten aluminum is made into medium and thick aluminum plates through the casting and rolling process.
- Hot rolling: The aluminum plate is heated and rolled to a thinner thickness to improve internal uniformity.
- Cold rolling: Further thinning the aluminum plate to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
- Stamping: Use a die to stamp the aluminum plate and process it into a round or oval billet.
- Deburring: Remove the burrs on the stamping edge through mechanical grinding to ensure smooth edges.
- Annealing: Anneal the billet to improve ductility and formability.
- Surface cleaning: Use pickling or polishing to remove the surface oxide layer to ensure that the billet is clean.
- Dimension detection: Strictly measure the diameter, thickness and other dimensions of the billet.
- Performance testing: Test the tensile strength, ductility and other properties to ensure that they meet quality standards.
- Packaging and warehousing: Qualified aluminum billets are protectively packaged and ready for delivery or storage.
