Aluminium Material Precautions

Aluminium must be mixed with other metals

In order to make aluminium to be acceptable building materials - which means that aluminium products require greater load-bearing capacity - it needs to be mixed with other metals. When mixed in an appropriate ratio, the strength of aluminium can actually be equal to the strength of the steel without sacrificing its weight advantage. Engineers often use aluminium alloys in components that require low or high corrosion resistance.

Aluminium can't be heated

If you don't need the conductivity of the aluminium tube, do not heat the aluminium tube. As mentioned earlier, low temperature will enhance the toughness of the aluminium tube. Conversely, heating will affect the performance of aluminium.

Rough things in aluminium

Aluminium will be diluted (or corrosion) in high stress or high corrosive environments. More durable metals in aluminium will be revealed. This can also be understood to refine ore compositions.

The inner surface and outer surface of the metal tube should be coated and finishing. However, it requires a specific surface treatment process, for example:

Galvanized - the tube has galvanized layers to improve corrosion resistance.

Shining surface - secondary polishing should make the pipe look bright.

Plating-tube will apply another thin metal coating to enhance its external physical properties such as conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Painting - the tube will have a powder coating for identifying and corrosion resistance.
