From the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals proudly crafts and supplies precision Aluminium 1070 Forgings for Ethiopia’s growing industries. We are committed to providing local manufacturers with a reliable source of high-quality components, forged with attention to detail and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs. Our dedication to excellence ensures that every piece we deliver meets the rigorous demands of modern engineering, supporting your projects with strength and integrity right here at home.
Aluminium 1070 is defined by its exceptional purity, consisting of at least 99.7% aluminium. This simple composition is the secret to its remarkable properties, offering excellent corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity. While it is a relatively soft metal, the forging process significantly enhances its strength and durability, creating a material that is both highly workable and reliable for a wide range of demanding applications.

The forging process for Aluminium 1070 typically takes several hours, depending on the complexity of the part and size. Heating, shaping, cooling, and finishing stages each contribute to the total time.
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.
The unique combination of strength and conductivity makes these forgings ideal for electrical components like busbars and connectors, where efficient power transmission is critical. They are also widely used in the chemical and food processing industries for fabricating tanks, pipes, and machinery parts that must resist corrosion. Furthermore, their lightweight nature and durability are invaluable for architectural fittings, automotive components, and general engineering applications where a dependable, non-corrosive metal is essential.
