Something You Should Know About Aluminum Bar

Aluminum Bar are a type of aluminum product. The melting casting of aluminum rods includes melting, purity, removal, qi, resuscitation, and casting process. Aluminium is a lightweight metal that has a wide range of uses as rods in a variety of applications. You can find them in almost all types of electronics. The metal is a silver-white product with a tough oxide coating. Aluminum rods need to be twisted with the correct precision to be used safely and effectively.

Types Of Aluminum Bar:

Depending on the metal elements contained in aluminum rods, aluminum rods can be divided into 8 categories.

1. 1000 series aluminum rods represent 1050, 1060, 1100 series. In all series, 1000 series belongs to the most aluminum content. The purity can reach more than 99.00%. Because it does not contain other technical elements, the production process is relatively single and the price is relatively cheap. It is the most commonly used series in conventional industries. Most of the markets are 1050 and 1060 series. The 1000 series of aluminum rods determine the minimum aluminum content of this series based on the last two Arabic figures. For example, the last two Arabic numerals of the 1050 series are 50. According to the principle of naming the international brand, more than 99.5%of the aluminum content must be qualified products. my country's aluminum alloy technical standards (GB/T3880-2006) also clearly stipulate that 1050 aluminum content reaches 99.5%. The same reason for the 1060 series of aluminum rods must reach more than 99.6%.

2. 2000 series aluminum rods represent 2A16 (LY16) and 2A02 (LY6). The characteristics of the 2000 series of aluminum rods are higher hardness, of which the content of copper is the highest, about 3-5%. The 2000 series of aluminum rods belongs to aviation aluminum, which is not commonly used in conventional industries.

3. 3000 series aluminum rods represent 3003 and 3A21. my country's 3000 series aluminum rod production technology is better. The 3000 series aluminum rod is the main component of manganese. The content is between 1.0-1.5 and is a series with a good rust-proof function.

4. the 4000 series aluminum rod represents the 4A01 4000 series aluminum rods are a series of high silicon content. The silicon content is usually between 4.5-6.0%. Building materials, mechanical parts, forging materials, welding materials; low melting points, good corrosion resistance, product description: have the characteristics of heat resistance and wear resistance

5. 5000 series aluminum rods represent 5052, 5005, 5083, 5A05 series. The 5000 series aluminum rod is a more commonly used aluminum aluminum rod series. The main elements are magnesium and the magnesium content is between 3-5%. It can also be called aluminum -magnesium alloy. The main features are low density, high tensile strength, and high extension. The weight of aluminum -magnesium alloy in the same area is lower than other series, and it is also widely used in conventional industries. The 5000 series aluminum rods in my country are one of the relatively mature aluminum rod series.

6. 6000 series aluminum rods represent 6061 and 6063 mainly contain two elements: magnesium and silicon. Therefore, the advantages of 4000 series and 5000 series are concentrated. Essence Good usability, easy to coat, and good processing.

7. 7000 series aluminum rods represent 7075 mainly contain zinc. It also belongs to the aviation series. It is an aluminum -magnesium -zinc and copper alloy. It is a thermal treatment alloy. It is a super hard aluminum alloy. It has good abrasion resistance. Basically relying on imports, my country's production technology needs to be improved.

8. 8000 series aluminum rods are more commonly used in 8011 belong to other series. Most of them are applied to aluminum foil. The production of aluminum rods is not commonly used.

Advantages of Aluminum Bar/Rod:

preservative:

When aluminum is exposed to air, a protective layer of aluminum oxide is formed on its surface, which has a strong anti-corrosion effect. This is one of the main reasons why it is widely used in external applications. Although it is less resistant to alkalis, this metal is very resistant to acids.

High conductivity:

This metal is highly conductive and can be used as an electrical conductor. It conducts electricity twice as well as other commonly used metals.

Low density:

This metal has a lower density compared to steel, copper, etc., which makes it a lightweight metal that allows for greater workload capacity at a lower cost.

Recyclable:

Aluminum products are durable and have a long service life. Although it is energy-intensive, melting down the used aluminum is a quick process and can be reused in its entirety.

Environmentally friendly:

Aluminum is non-toxic and hygienic. It is easy to clean with various types of cleaning agents (eg solvents, acids, detergents).

Weatherability:

Aluminum rods do not respond to any type of weather. It is resistant to corrosion, water and rust. It works well at low temperatures and retains its toughness and hardness even at elevated temperatures.

Applications of Aluminum Bar/Rod:

Aluminum Bars are most commonly used to make power transmission lines. The metal faces virtually zero competition in the field. For power transmission, aluminum rods are considered the most economical method. Armored cables are also made of aluminum and have a coating that protects them from harmful environmental influences. Aluminum cables are used almost everywhere there is power transmission, whether in machinery, equipment or commercial buildings. Aluminum rods are also used to provide liquids for water treatment plants, food processing units, heat exchangers and other similar industrial applications. Aluminum products conduct heat better than steel and can be used in both cooling and heating applications. Due to its non-toxic properties, this metal is widely used to make a variety of cookware and utensils.
