Description
Aluminum conductors have the following characteristics
- Light weight and high strength: Compared with copper conductors, aluminum conductors have lighter weight and higher strength, which is easy to handle and install
- Good electrical conductivity: Although the electrical conductivity of aluminum conductor is relatively low, its weight is only about half of that of copper conductor under the same conductivity, so as to achieve higher power transmission efficiency
- Strong corrosion resistance: The aluminum conductor has good corrosion resistance and can operate stably for a long time in a variety of harsh environments
- Low cost: Aluminum conductor is lower than conductor, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of power cables
The manufacturing process of aluminum conductors mainly includes the following steps
- Selection of aluminum: Choose high-purity aluminum as raw material to ensure the purity and conductivity of the conductor.
- Bending forming: Bending aluminum into the desired conductor shape by machining
- Wire drawing: The bent aluminum material is brushed to gradually reduce its diameter to the required conductor size
- Annealing: annealing the aluminum conductor after wire drawing to improve its conductivity and flexibility
- Surface treatment: Oxidation treatment or plating treatment of aluminum conductor to improve its corrosion resistance.
