18 Tons of 0.4mm 1060 H22 Aluminum Strip Coil Delivered to Egypt for Lighting Accessories
In a recent export project, we supplied 18 tons of 0.4mm aluminum strip coil (alloy 1060, temper H22) to a lighting accessories manufacturer based in Egypt. This case demonstrates our ability to deliver large-volume aluminum strip with consistent surface quality, tight thickness tolerance and dependable lead time to the Middle East and North African markets.
Client Background
The buyer is a specialized lighting accessories factory located in Cairo, Egypt. The company produces decorative lamp housings, reflectors, brackets and lighting fixture components for the domestic market as well as re-export to neighboring North African countries. Because their finished products are visible decorative parts, the surface appearance of the aluminum strip directly affects the quality of their lamps, making material consistency a top priority.
Project Requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Product | Aluminum strip / coil |
| Alloy | 1060 (99.6% aluminum purity) |
| Temper | H22 |
| Thickness | 0.4 mm |
| Quantity | 18 tons |
| Application | Lighting accessories / lamp parts |
| Destination | Egypt (Port of Alexandria) |
| Quality Focus | Clean surface, no oil stain, tight thickness tolerance, good formability |
Our Solution
After reviewing the buyer's drawings and forming process, our engineering team recommended alloy 1060 in H22 temper. Alloy 1060 offers excellent corrosion resistance and high formability, while the H22 temper provides a good balance between strength and ductility, allowing the strip to be stamped and bent into lamp housings and reflectors without cracking.
- Alloy 1060 H22: soft enough for deep drawing of lighting components, stable enough for structural parts.
- 0.4 mm precision thickness: rolled to tight tolerance to ensure consistent stamping quality and material yield.
- Clean mill surface: degreased and free from oil stains, scratches and oxidation, ready for anodizing or coating.
- Custom slitting: strip width cut to the customer's required dimensions to minimize their cutting waste.
