Known for their dedication to precision engineering and ensuring customer satisfaction, Starc Metals offers tailored forging solutions that meet the high standards of various industries. With a strong emphasis on quality, sustainability, and innovation, the company provides durable and efficient materials designed for optimal performance. Their expertise in Aluminium 1070 forgings makes them a go-to partner for clients looking for dependable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant components for electrical, automotive, aerospace, and structural applications throughout Australia and beyond.
Aluminium 1070 forgings are made up of 99.7% pure aluminium, which ranks them among the highest purity grades available. This alloy boasts excellent electrical conductivity, impressive corrosion resistance, and outstanding thermal conductivity. In terms of mechanical properties, it has a tensile strength of about 90 MPa, a yield strength of around 34 MPa, and an elongation of roughly 35%. Because of its lower strength, it’s often cold-worked to improve its mechanical traits. Aluminium 1070 is not heat-treatable, making it perfect for applications that require exceptional formability, high ductility, and resistance to environmental wear and tear.

Aluminum 1070 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications due to its relatively low melting point and limited strength at elevated temperatures. Alloys like 7075 or 2618 are better suited.
Aluminum 1070 offers excellent corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity, good formability, and high purity, making it ideal for custom forgings in applications requiring strength and durability with minimal impurities.
Aluminium 1070 forgings are a go-to choice in industries that demand high conductivity, formability, and resistance to corrosion. You’ll often find them in applications like electrical transmission lines, bus bars, heat exchangers, and transformer windings, thanks to their outstanding electrical and thermal properties. They’re also popular in the automotive and aerospace fields for non-structural parts like brackets, reflectors, and panels. In architecture, Aluminium 1070 shines in decorative features and cladding. Plus, its non-toxic and non-magnetic traits make it a great fit for food processing equipment and certain medical uses, ensuring safety and performance in a variety of settings.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
