To understand the benefits of aluminum alloy housing, we must first understand the application and characteristics of aluminum.
The excellent characteristics of aluminum and its alloys are their good appearance, light weight, machinability, good physical and mechanical properties, and good corrosion resistance, so that aluminum and aluminum alloys are considered to be the most economical and practical in many application fields.
Under most environmental conditions, including in air, water (or salt water), petrochemical and many chemical systems, aluminum can show excellent corrosion resistance, so the production of aluminum alloy shells is the most common and most widely used in industrial manufacturing.
1. The surface of aluminum is highly reflective. Radiant energy, visible light, radiant heat and radio waves can be effectively reflected by aluminum, and the surface of anodized and dark anodized can be reflective or absorbent, and the polished aluminum has excellent reflectivity in a wide wavelength range, so it has a variety of decorative uses and reflective functions.
2. Aluminum usually shows excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and some specific aluminum alloys with high resistivity have also been developed, and these alloys can be used in motors with high torque. Aluminium is often chosen because of its excellent electrical conductivity. On a weight equal basis, the electrical conductivity of aluminum is nearly twice that of copper. The thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is about 50-60% of that of copper, which is beneficial for the manufacture of heat exchangers, evaporators, heating appliances, cooking utensils, and automobile cylinder heads and radiators.
3. Aluminum is non-ferromagnetic, which is an important characteristic for the electrical and electronic industries. Aluminum is not capable of spontaneous combustion, which is important for applications involving handling or contact with flammable and explosive materials. Aluminum is non-toxic and is commonly used to make containers for food and beverages. Its natural surface state has a pleasant appearance. It is soft, shiny and can be colored or textured for beauty.
