Why are aluminum products so popular?

Many new dealers in color metal industry might be amazed at the popularity and the the roaring demands in this type of metal. Why are aluminum products for sale so popular? Let's try to figure out why it is so popular!

1. The density of aluminum is very small, only 2.7g/cm. Although it is relatively soft, it can be made into various aluminum alloys, such as hard aluminum, super hard aluminum, rust-proof aluminum, cast aluminum, etc. These aluminum alloys are widely used in aircraft, automobile, train, ship and other manufacturing industries. In addition, space rockets, space shuttles, and artificial satellites also use a large amount of aluminum and its aluminum alloys. For example, a supersonic aircraft consists of about 70% aluminum and its alloys. Aluminum is also used in large quantities in ship construction, and a large passenger ship often uses several thousand tons of aluminum.

2. The conductivity of aluminum products is second only to that of silver and copper. Although its conductivity is only 2/3 of that of copper, its density is only 1/3 of that of copper. Therefore, for the same amount of electricity, the quality of aluminum wire is only half of that of copper wire. The oxide film on the surface of aluminum not only has the ability to resist corrosion, but also has a certain degree of insulation, so aluminum has a wide range of uses in the electrical manufacturing industry, the wire and cable industry and the radio industry.

3. Aluminum is a good conductor of heat. Its thermal conductivity is three times greater than that of iron. Aluminum can be used in industry to manufacture various heat exchangers, heat dissipation materials and cooking utensils.

4. Aluminum has good ductility (its ductility is second only to gold and silver), and it can be made into aluminum foil thinner than 0.01mm at 100 ℃ ~ 150 ℃. These aluminum foils are widely used for packaging cigarettes, candies, etc., and can also be made into aluminum wires, aluminum strips, and can be rolled into various aluminum products. ???

5. Due to the dense oxide protective film on the surface of aluminum, it is not easy to be corroded. It is often used to manufacture chemical reactors, medical equipment, refrigeration equipment, petroleum refining equipment, oil and gas pipelines, etc.

6. The aluminum plate also has good light reflection performance, reflecting ultraviolet rays stronger than silver. The purer the aluminum, the better the reflection ability. Therefore, it is often used to manufacture high-quality reflectors, such as solar cooker reflectors.

7. Aluminum products have sound-absorbing properties and good acoustics, so aluminum is also used for ceilings in broadcast rooms and modern large-scale buildings.

8. Low temperature resistance, when the temperature of aluminum is low, its strength increases without brittleness, so it is ideal for low

temperature device materials, such as refrigerators, freezers, Antarctic snow vehicles, and hydrogen oxide production devices.
