The main advantages of aluminum wire include the following aspects:
Lightweight: The density of aluminum wire is about 2.7g/cm³, which is only one-third of that of steel. Therefore, under the same weight, aluminum wire can provide a larger surface area, thereby improving the strength and rigidity of the material.
Corrosion resistance: Aluminum wire has good corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in a humid, acidic or alkaline environment without rusting or corroding. In addition, the oxide film on the surface of aluminum not only has the ability to resist corrosion, but also has certain insulation properties.
Good conductivity: The conductivity of aluminum wire is second only to silver, copper and gold. Although the conductivity is only 2/3 of copper, the density is only 1/3 of copper. Therefore, the mass of aluminum wire is only half of that of copper wire when transmitting the same amount of electricity. This makes aluminum wire widely used in conductive equipment such as wires and cables.
Easy to process: Aluminum wire has good processing performance and can be cut, bent, welded and other processing operations, which is convenient for manufacturing parts of various shapes.
