Embossed aluminum sheet Deep Drawing 1050 1060 Mill Finish

10/21 2025 Leo

Embossed aluminum sheets with deep drawing capabilities in alloys 1050 and 1060 are widely recognized for their outstanding combination of excellent surface finish, flexibility, and formability. These materials are essential in multiple industrial and consumer applications due to their corrosion resistance, ductility, and excellent aesthetic appeal following embossing.

Embossed aluminum sheets, particularly molded from 1050 and 1060 alloys, feature a textured surface created by rolling patterns that improve aesthetic quality and functional properties such as deeper forming ability during deep drawing. The mill finish represents the original smooth or slightly matte finish from the rolling process prior to further surface treatments.

These alloys are in the 1000 series of pure aluminum, boasting high aluminum content — at least 99.5% for 1050 and 99.6% for 1060 alloy — providing excellent corrosion resistance, thermal, and electrical conductivity.
