Advantages of Aluminum Strips For Cable Wrapping

Aluminum strips for cable wrapping are usually of O state. They are made of 8011 or 1060 aluminum alloys. Their thickness ranges between 0.12mm and 3.0mm. While used for cable wrapping, aluminum strips have advantages of good tensile strength, ductility, flexibility, connecting property, load ability, corrosion resistance and matching degree with electric products.

Aluminum strips for cable wrapping have good tensile strength and ductility. Generally speaking, 8011 has better performance than 1060, because it has been mixed with special elements. Its ductility reaches 30%, and its anti-creep property is 300% stronger than 1060. Both 1060 and 8011 aluminum strips boast better flexibility than copper strips. Their flexibility can be further improved by specialized process. In comparison with copper strips, they are less likely to rebound as well. With similar connecting property to copper, they have a higher matching degree with electric products, for most electric connector are made of aluminum alloys. Besides, aluminum cables display excellent loading ability, especially ability of self-loading. A piece of aluminum cable stretches as long as 4000 meters without falling down, while copper cable can only reach 2750 meters. This is a great advantage over cables of other materials in spacious buildings like indoor stadiums. What’s more, aluminum strips have been endowed with a natural advantage: perfect corrosion resistance. Once exposed to the air, the element of aluminum reacts with oxygen quickly, producing a thin solid oxide layer which withstands all kinds of corrosion. This corrosion resistance gets stronger when rare earth elements are added to aluminum alloys.
In addition to advantages of properties, aluminum strips have two overwhelming strengths. As one of the most proper raw materials for cable wrapping, its price is the lowest. After decades of development, aluminum alloy manufacturers have mastered mature processing technology. Factories have formed into large scales around the world. These reduce production cost substantially. Further more, aluminum strips have lighter weight than other candidate materials, because their density is very small. Lighter materials are safer while being hung in the sky.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

图片
What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate ...

Diamond Embossed Aluminum Sheet Application

图片
The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid pu...

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

图片
If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking,...
