Aluminum conduit is a hollow aluminum alloy product, mostly round in shape, and due to the different materials and processing technology, it has excellent strength, corrosion resistance and processing performance. Compared with other metal conduits, such as steel pipes or titanium pipes, aluminum conduits have the advantages of light weight, high conductivity and recyclability.
In the aerospace field, aluminum ducts play a particularly prominent role. Not only can they maintain stable performance in extreme environments, but also their excellent strength-to-weight ratio helps reduce the structural weight of aircraft, thereby improving fuel efficiency and flight performance.
Chalco's aerospace aluminum conduits are popular for their diverse alloy types and high quality. Common alloys include corrosion-resistant 5A02 and 5052, high-strength 5A06, and stable performance 6061. They support customization of multiple specifications and technical protocols and are widely used in hydraulic systems, fuel delivery and other fields. They are the first choice of global aviation manufacturers.
