Features of aluminum profiles
Thermal conductivityThe thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is about 50-60% of copper, which is beneficial to the manufacture of heat exchangers, evaporators, heating appliances, cooking utensils, and the cylinder head and radiator of automobiles.FerromagnetismAluminum is non ferromagnetic, which is an important feature of the electrical and electronic industries. Aluminum can not be spontaneous combustion, which is involved in loading and unloading or exposure to flammable and explosive materials is important.
Corrosion resistanceThe density of aluminum profile is only 2.7g/cm3, about 1/3 of steel, copper or brass (7.83g/, cm3, 8.93g/, cm3), respectively. Aluminum can show excellent corrosion resistance in most ambient conditions, including air, water (or brine), petrochemical, and many chemical systems nductivityAluminum profile is often chosen because of its excellent electrical conductivity. On the basis of equal weight, the conductivity of aluminum is nearly two times that of copper.
MachinabilityThe machinability of aluminum profile is excellent. In a variety of wrought aluminum and cast aluminum alloys, and in the various states after which these alloys are produced, the machining characteristics vary considerably, which requires special machine tools or techniques.FormabilityThe specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, and the corresponding work hardening rate govern the amount of allowable deformation.RecyclingAluminum is highly recycled, and the characteristics of recycled aluminum are almost the same as those of native aluminum.
