How to manufacture high quality aluminum tubes?
Three main factors of aluminum tube bending
1. Formability
Some aluminum alloys, such as 3000, 5000 and 6000 series, have higher formability than other aluminum alloys, making them good bending materials.
2. High precision
Like other metals, aluminum will appear "work hardening" during bending. This means that it will become stronger and stronger when formed. However, if ratio of radius to pipe thickness is too small, the material will be over machined and more likely to lose efficacy.
3. Rate of elongation, flexibility
Percentage of elongation is a way of describing the difference between the yield strength of a metal and its ultimate tensile strength. Yield strength is the point at which an aluminum alloy can be bent and no longer restored to its original shape. The greater the difference between these strengths, the better the formability of the alloy.
Aluminum tubes have excellent bending properties and are suitable for various complex pipeline design and installation requirements.
Brazing and welding of aluminum pipe
Low temperature operation: The brazing operation temperature of aluminum tubes is low, which reduces the thermal impact on the material.
Strong connection: The aluminum tube joints after brazing have high strength and durability, suitable for long-term use.
High strength: The aluminum tube after welding maintains high strength and durability, suitable for various applications with high strength requirements.
The difference between seamless aluminum tubes and seamed aluminum tubes
From the production point of view: seamless aluminum tubes are produced by reverse extrusion machines, the processing technology is relatively complex and the cost is high. Seamed aluminum tubes are extruded by forward extrusion machines, which are fast to produce and low in cost.
From the surface: high-frequency welds of straight or spiral lines can be seen inside the seamed aluminum tubes. The wall thickness of seamless aluminum tubes is relatively thick, and there are no welds inside.
In terms of performance: seamless aluminum tubes have better pressure resistance and uniform texture than seamed aluminum tubes. The chemical composition and mechanical properties of the weld part of the seamed aluminum tube will change slightly. If it is a bent tube, it is recommended to use seamless aluminum tubes, and seamed aluminum tubes are prone to cracking.
In terms of function: seamless aluminum tubes can be used in important parts such as water stamping, air hydraulics, machined parts, grinding sleeves, etc. Seamed aluminum tubes are generally used as structural supports.
