A Brief Introduction About Aluminum Tubes

Aluminum is a common raw material in our daily life. From decorative building materials to food, everyone will be exposed to aluminum.

As a high toughness carbon tool steel, aluminum can carry out heat treatment process, has excellent electric welding weldability, and has good processability after heat treatment and cold work hardening.

The corrosion resistance of the aluminum tube is not high. It is often solved by anodizing and painting or coating with aluminum on the surface to improve the corrosion resistance. It can also be used as die steel.

Advantages of aluminum tube

⭕Advantages of welding technology

The welding technology of thick wall copper aluminum pipe suitable for industrial production, known as the international difficulty, is the core technology of aluminum instead of copper for the connecting pipe of the air conditioner.

From the view of the inner cavity of the aluminum tube, because the refrigerant has no moisture content, the inner cavity of the copper-aluminum connecting tube is not easy to produce etching.

The lower the heat transfer efficiency, the more environmentally friendly and energy-saving the connecting pipe between the unit in the air conditioner room and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. In other words, the higher the actual effect of thermal insulation, the more energy-saving.

Easy to install and move.

Points needing attention in aluminum tube welding

1. The effect of one-time successful welding is better. Because the melting and rotary cutting tool point of the aluminum tube is too low, the aluminum tube is very easy to deform during the second reheating.

2. The welding rod must be evenly coated with flux to improve the quality of the welding joint.

3. The flame of the welding gun shall not be too long and must be heated with a low fire, otherwise, the dispersant aluminum tube is very easy to melt.

4. After welding, it is necessary to wait for the special slurry for nylon wire for two or three minutes before the tube can be contacted in the cement warehouse, otherwise the solder joint is easy to leak.

5. The welding time shall not be too long. Because the melting point is too low, too long will easily lead to melting or thinning of the aluminum tube wall, and the pressurization is very easy to leak.

Difference between aluminum tube and aluminum alloy tube

An aluminum tube is the abbreviation of an aluminum alloy tube. The aluminum alloy tube is divided into alloy aluminum tubes and pure aluminum tubes. As the name suggests, an aluminum alloy tube is an aluminum alloy material formed by adding various alloy elements based on aluminum.

Pure aluminum tubes are not only composed of aluminum elements but also composed of other alloy elements. However, in pure aluminum, the proportion of aluminum elements is relatively high, the proportion of alloy elements is relatively low, and the role is also minimal.

The representative of pure aluminum tube is a 1 series aluminum alloy. The commonly used brands include 1050 aluminum tubes, 1060 aluminum tubes, 1070 aluminum tubes, and 1100 aluminum tubes.

The pure aluminum tube has high conductivity and strong acid and alkali resistance, so it is more popular in the power industry and chemical industry.

The pure aluminum tube also has the characteristics of good ductility, low strength, and good toughness. It is also a favorite in the refrigeration industry.
