1060 Aluminum for Transformer Aluminum Strip

 Transformer aluminum strip is a commonly used conductive material in power transformers, which plays an important role in power transmission and distribution. In order to ensure that the transformer can operate normally and has good conductivity, standards are set for the thickness and width of the transformer aluminum strip.

Aluminum strips for transformers have a high aluminum content (usually 99.6%-99.7% or more). The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of aluminum are only lower than those of conventional metals such as copper. The main grades of transformer aluminum strips are A1060 (O), which are mainly used as conductive materials for high and low voltage windings of dry-type transformers.

Transformer aluminum strip has good elongation and tensile strength, which can fully meet the conventional processing requirements (stamping, stretching) and has high formability. It is industrial pure aluminum with high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, but low strength. It can be gas welded, hydrogen atom welded and contact welded, but not easy to braze.

The main components of 1060 aluminum strip are carbon, chromium, aluminum, iron, manganese, zinc and tin, mainly aluminum, of which the aluminum content is about 99.6% or more. 1060 aluminum has excellent mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance, and is widely used in air exhaust pipes, hot water pipes, cold water pipes, heat exchangers, automobile manufacturing, mechanical processing and other industrial fields.

The main processing equipment for dry-type transformer aluminum strips is the slitting unit, which can be divided into the required length and width according to the needs. Usually, the aluminum strips of dry-type transformers are cut according to the actual width required by the user, which can reduce waste, reduce processing procedures (no cutting), and save raw material costs.

Haomei Aluminum can provide fine packaging and simple packaging. Fine packaging is that the aluminum strip is firstly wrapped with oil paper, and simple packaging is a direct packaging with aluminum strip rolls.

At the same time, according to the placement direction of the aluminum strip, it can be divided into vertical packaging and horizontal packaging. Vertical packaging is the inner hole of the aluminum strip facing the sky, and horizontal packaging is the inner hole of the aluminum strip facing the wall.

2000 Series Aluminum: AA2024

 The aerospace field mainly develops high-strength, high-toughness and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys to meet the harsh use conditions of aerospace. The 2xxx series aluminum and 7xxx series aluminum alloys are more widely used. The main components of the 2000 series aluminum alloy are aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), and magnesium (Mg).

The corrosion resistance of the 2xxx series alloys is not as good as most other aluminum alloys and intergranular corrosion may occur under certain conditions. Therefore, these aluminum alloys are usually clad with high purity alloys or 6xxx series magnesium silicon alloys to provide electroplating protection to the core material, which greatly improves corrosion resistance.

The composition of 2024 aluminum alloy roughly includes 4.3-4.5% copper, 0.5-0.6% manganese, 1.3-1.5% magnesium and less than 0.5% silicon, zinc, nickel, chromium, lead and bismuth. It can only be welded by friction welding and has moderate machinability.

2024 aluminum alloy is an alloy frequently used in the aerospace industry. It is a high-strength alloy suitable for projects requiring high strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance. Therefore, it is mainly found in wing and fuselage structures that are often subjected to tension.

The newest and best performing alloy in the 2000 series is 2524 aluminum alloy, which has significant improvements in toughness and fatigue resistance compared to 2024 aluminum alloy and has been successfully used in the B777 passenger aircraft.

For fuselage applications, the fracture toughness of 2524-T3 alloy is improved by 15-20%, and the fatigue crack growth resistance is twice that of 2024-T3. This improvement can reduce weight and extend the service life by 30-40%. AA 2024 t351’s fatigue strength is about 45% of yield strength.

2014 is a high-strength forged aluminum alloy of the Al-Cu-Mg-Si series, which can be strengthened by heat treatment. The chemical composition of this alloy is similar to that of 2A14 aluminum alloy, with high strength and good hot working properties, and is easy to forge. 2014 is used to manufacture rims that require high strength, high hardness and high loads, such as rims, truck frames and suspension assemblies, rocket booster fuel tanks and structural parts, etc.
