Definition of Aluminum Rod
Nov 07, 2024
Aluminum rod is an aluminum product, which is mainly made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy through extrusion and has a hollow metal rod structure. Aluminum rods can have one or more closed through holes, with uniform wall thickness and cross-section, and are usually delivered in straight or coiled form.
Classification of aluminum rods
Aluminum rods can be classified according to different standards:
By shape: square rods, round rods, patterned rods, special-shaped rods, hexagonal rods, etc.
By extrusion method: seamless aluminum rods and general extruded rods.
By precision: general aluminum rods and fine aluminum rods.
By thickness: general aluminum rods and thin-walled aluminum rods.
Uses of aluminum rods
Aluminum rods are widely used in many fields, including:
Cars, ships, electrical appliances, agriculture, electromechanical, home furnishings, etc.
Applications of different series of aluminum rods:
1000 series: used for hoses, fireworks powder, welding parts, wires, etc.
2000 Series: used for aircraft components, screw components, rivets, etc.
3000 Series: used for downpipes, room partitions, kitchenware, etc.
4000 Series: used for machine parts, forging materials, etc.
5000 Series: used for welding parts of ships, cars, and aircraft, etc.
6000 Series: used for car bodies, TV antennas, machine parts, etc.
7000 Series: used for super-hard aluminum alloys, commonly used in aerospace materials
8000 Series: mainly used for aluminum foil.
