Why do today's metal products prefer aluminum and aluminum alloys?

China is a major producer and consumer of aluminum alloy materials, and Haomei is China's leading producer and manufacturer of aluminum products. Haomei's aluminum alloy materials are widely used in transportation, marine, aerospace and other fields, especially in some lightweight key components in the fields of automobiles, aircraft, aerospace, ships, etc., aluminum alloy materials are irreplaceable. So what are the characteristics of aluminum that will be so favored? Let’s talk with you today.

Low density: The density of aluminum is 1/3 of that of steel. Using aluminum instead of steel, through reasonable structural design, the weight of components can be reduced by more than 50%;

Good conductivity: the conductivity of aluminum allloys is 65% of that of copper. Compared to copper, the same weight of aluminum can carry twice as much current;

High strength: The strength of pure aluminum is low, but the strength can be increased after adding other alloying elements;

Good Appearance: The surface of the aluminum products is bright, showing a beautiful pure silver. If you want to change the color, you can use spray painting or anodizing;

Insulation: Aluminum is isolated from oxygen and light, which makes its aluminum foil very suitable as a packaging material;

Good formability: the specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and corresponding work hardening rate of the aluminum products govern the change in allowable deformation;

High thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 5 times that of steel, which is important for applications such as packaging and heat exchangers;

Weldable: Aluminum alloy have low melting point and electrical conductivity, so the welding effect is good;

Corrosion resistance: aluminum is not easy to rust, and aluminum alloys are used in special environments;

Good impact resistance: no magnetism, no sparks when impacted;

Recyclable: Aluminum has extremely high recyclability, and the characteristics of recycled aluminum are almost the same as those of primary aluminum.

So this is the basic intro to the reason why today's metal products prefers aluminum and aluminum alloys! Aluminum has so many benefits, if you have the properties you need, please contact us, a brilliant manufacturer and supplier, for consultation and purchase!
