What is Aluminum tube?
Aluminum tube is a kind of nonferrous metal tube, which refers to the metal tubular material extruded from pure aluminum or aluminum alloy to be hollow along its longitudinal full length. There can be one or more closed through holes with uniform wall thickness and cross section, which are delivered in straight line or roll form. It is widely used in automobile, ship, aerospace, aviation, electrical appliances, agriculture, electromechanical, household and other industries.
Features of Aluminum tube
It is a kind of high-strength duralumin, which can be strengthened by heat treatment. It has medium plasticity in annealing, hard quenching and hot state, and good spot welding. When gas welding and argon arc welding are used, the aluminum tube tends to form intergranular cracks; The machinability of aluminum tube is good after quenching and cold work hardening, but it is not good in the annealing state. The corrosion resistance is not high. Anodic oxidation and painting methods are often used or aluminum coating is added on the surface to improve the corrosion resistance. It can also be used as die material.
Advantages of aluminum pipe: First, advantages of welding technology: thin wall copper aluminum pipe welding technology suitable for industrial production is called a world-class problem, and is the key technology of replacing copper with aluminum for connecting pipe of air conditioner.
Second, the advantage of service life: from the perspective of the inner wall of the aluminum tube, since the refrigerant does not contain water, the inner wall of the copper aluminum connecting tube will not be corroded.
Third, energy saving advantages: the lower the heat transfer efficiency of the connecting pipeline between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the more energy is saved, or the better the insulation effect, the more power is saved.
Fourth, excellent bending performance and easy installation.
Applications of Aluminum Tube
Heat exchanger
The aluminium tube is a strong thermal conductor. The 1000 series of aluminium alloy is the best choice compared to similar conductors. Usually, The tube is a carrier that transferring heat from one place to another. The following products are available in the field of heat exchanger:
-Engine
-Refrigerator
-Air conditioning and heating system
-Ventilation
-Solar energy
-Steam generator
-Reboiler
-Transportation (including aerospace)
The versatility of aluminium tubes is very suitable for vehicles such as automotive, aerospace and rail transportation. As they need a strong but light material assembly to assist completion. This includes:
-Car body
-Railing
-Journey
-Fuel pipe
-Hydraulic system
-Frame
-Frame structure or public utilities
You may see a lot of billboards, road sign, etc., on the highway and include the guardrails and other signs. Most of these facilities are made of aluminium tubes from corrosion resistance and low maintenance costs. Other public applications using aluminium tubes also include:
-Building Decoration
-Fencing
-Outdoor structure
-Framework and support
-Frame structure or public utilities
