Aluminum Strips Used in Voice Tube

Aluminum strips had a surprising usage which is not well-known any more. They used to be placed in the voice tube as voice collectors. Each voice tube had one piece aluminum strip that was about 10 centimeters long, 3 centimeters wide and from 2um to 5um thick. The strip had almost no inner mechanical stress after going through annealing treatment. While it was placed in strong magnetic fields of a voice tube, it produced slight electricity current that was magnified and then transferred into sound. It took place of the small copper bar that was much more expensive.

Aluminum strips had been chosen as voice collector of voice tubes because of their perfect voice collecting effect. A small piece of strip in a microphone could collect sounds from all directions. The collected sounds, after being transformed, were temperate, real and comfortable. Even if it collected extremely loud sounds, there would be no problem like voice distortion. Therefore, microphones with aluminum strips were popular for chorus collecting.
However, weaknesses of aluminum strips for voice tubes were as obvious as their strengths. Their were only around 5um thick and needed more care in usage and maintenance. Even a blow of breath might break them, so it was important to keep them away from wind. Besides, they may be damaged by moisture. These weaknesses restricted their development as voice collects. With popularity of voice tubes that withstands shocks, falls and water, aluminum stripswere discarded eventually by microphone manufacturers.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

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

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,...
