Why is aluminum alloy so popular for sale?

People must be very curious, why is the steel that was so popular slowly being replaced by aluminum alloys? This is actually because of the general properties of aluminum alloy for sale. Let's see what's there!

The excellent characteristics of aluminum and its aluminum alloys are good appearance, light weight, machinability, good physical and mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and are considered economical and practical in many application fields. The density of aluminum is only 2.7×103㎏/m3, which is about 1/3 of the density of steel, copper or brass. Because aluminum and aluminum alloys are light in material, they are often used in the manufacture of land, sea and air vehicles such as automobiles, trains, subways, ships, airplanes, rockets, and spacecraft to reduce their own weight and increase their loading capacity. Aluminum also has applications in China. Aluminum exhibits excellent corrosion resistance under most environmental conditions, including in air, water (or brine), petrochemicals, and many chemical systems. The surfaces of aluminum and aluminum alloys are highly reflective, radiant energy, visible light, radiant heat, and electric waves are all effectively reflected by aluminum, while anodized and dark anodized surfaces can be reflective or absorbing sexual. Polished aluminum is excellent in reflection over a wide range of wavelengths and thus has a variety of decorative and reflective functional uses. Aluminum and aluminum alloys usually show excellent electrical conductivity, and its electrical conductivity is about two-thirds that of copper, but because its density is only one-third that of copper, the same mass and length of aluminum wire and Compared with copper wire, the electrical conductivity of aluminum alloy is about twice that of copper, and it is lower than copper, and the application cost is low, so it is often selected by the electric power industry and the electronic industry. At present, some specific aluminum alloys with high resistivity have also been successfully developed, and these alloys can be used in, for example, high-rotor motors. The thermal conductivity of aluminum and aluminum alloys is very high, second only to copper. The thermal conductivity of aluminum is three times greater than that of iron, which is about 50% to 60% of that of copper. Although copper has thermal conductivity, the weight of a workpiece of the same size is much larger than that of aluminum, and it is also much more expensive than aluminum. Therefore, aluminum is still used in the manufacture of heat sink aluminum. Aluminum is beneficial for the manufacture of heat exchangers, evaporators, heating appliances, cooking utensils, as well as cylinder heads and radiators for automobiles.

Look, does aluminum alloy not have many advantages? These advantages make aluminum alloys more and more popular. If you want to buy and aluminum alloy products, please contact us!
