Home Technical Properties of Aluminum


Conductivity

Aluminum conducts heat and electricity well. Half of a copper conductor with the same degree of conductivity has a weight. Therefore, it is frequently used in cooling and heating applications.

Machining

Aluminum has a lot of working directions. Grinding, punching, cutting, punching and bending are among the common methods of shaping aluminum.

Recyclable

Aluminum is very durable and can last for a very long time. In this way, it may be the piece you use most often.

Weight

Aluminum is very lightweight, so it can be used in place of many materials. It takes place in every sector.

Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum is very resistant. It can repair itself when anything happens.

Durable and Lightweight

Aluminum has a very low density. In this way, it is very light. How aluminum is processed is very important. Because of the strong and light structure of aluminum, it can be used in many areas.

Merger

Friction mixing welding, bonding, melting welding and measuring are used for merger. Attention is paid to use the features that provide fast merger in profile design. Sometimes it is the reflection of the reflected heat and sometimes the visible light.

Resistance

Aluminum alloys have tensile strength between 70 and 700 MPa. The strength of the steel grades increases at low temperature so that it can be used naturally in many places. Just because it's light doesn't mean it's weak.

Forming

Aluminum easily goes into almost any shape. You can put aluminum into any shape you can think of.

Elimination of electromagnetic radiation

Tight aluminum boxes can effectively exclude or sieve EMC.

Aluminum (Al) is a silver colored metal. Atomic number is 13. It is usually found in bauxite ore and is known for its superior resistance to oxidation. On the basis of this resistance is the passivation characteristic. It is used in millions of different products in many branches of industry and has a very important place in the world economy. Structural components made of aluminum are indispensable for space and aviation industries. The lightweight and high strength properties are widely used in the transportation and construction industry.
