AL9682 7055 Aluminum Alloy Tube

7055 Aluminium Alloy Tube Description

7055 Aluminium Alloy Tube is manufactured from a carefully balanced aluminium alloy incorporating zinc, magnesium, and copper to enhance mechanical strength while retaining ductility. The precise extrusion process preserves tight dimensional tolerances and smooth surface finishes. This consistency in alloy composition minimises electrical impedance and improves load-bearing capacity. Engineers benefit from these attributes in applications demanding stable performance under mechanical and thermal stress.

7055 Aluminium Alloy Tube Applications

1.       Industrial Electronics
- Used as a protective conduit in electrical enclosures to mitigate electromagnetic interference by leveraging its controlled conductivity and mechanical strength.

2.       Mechanical Assemblies
- Applied as a structural element in support frameworks to achieve enhanced rigidity by utilising its high-strength alloy properties.

3.       Heat Exchangers and Cooling Systems
- Serves as a channel in thermal management systems to efficiently dissipate heat by capitalising on its effective thermal conductivity and fine surface finish.

7055 Aluminium Alloy Tube Packing

The tube is packaged using anti-scratch, moisture-resistant wraps and secured in foam-lined, corrugated boxes to prevent mechanical damage. For storage, it is recommended to use a cool, dry environment to reduce corrosion risks. Custom packaging options, such as labelled containers and tamper-evident seals, are available to meet specific shipping and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the alloy composition influence the tube’s performance?
A1: The integration of zinc, magnesium, and copper enhances tensile strength and fatigue resistance while maintaining ductility, which is crucial for components subjected to continuous mechanical stress.

Q2: What quality control techniques are applied during manufacturing?
A2: Production incorporates real-time spectroscopic analysis during melting and extrusion, followed by precise dimensional inspections to ensure the alloy composition meets the required specifications and tolerances.

Q3: Is it possible to customise the tube dimensions?
A3: Yes, customisation for diameter, wall thickness, and length is available. These adjustments are made carefully to ensure that the tube's mechanical integrity and performance remain consistent.
