What is the specific gravity of aluminum rod?
Nov 02, 2024
The specific gravity of aluminum rod is about 2.7g/cm³, that is, 2700Kg/m³. This value is based on the density of pure aluminum, and the density of actual aluminum alloy may vary due to different alloy components.
Aluminum rod is a common metal material, widely used in industrial production and daily life. Understanding the specific gravity and density of aluminum rod is of great significance for material selection, processing and performance evaluation. The density of pure aluminum is fixed, about 2.7g/cm³, while the density of aluminum alloy varies depending on the alloy composition. Generally speaking, the density of aluminum alloy is slightly higher than that of pure aluminum, because the density of other elements added to the alloy (such as copper, zinc, magnesium, etc.) is usually higher than that of aluminum.
Aluminum rod has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. The density of hexagonal aluminum rod is generally 2.7-2.9g/cm³, which is 1/3~1/2 of ordinary aluminum alloy, so its weight is only about half of ordinary aluminum alloy. These characteristics make aluminum rod very convenient to process during transportation, handling, installation and use.
Aluminum bars are widely used in aerospace, construction, electricity, transportation and packaging. In the aerospace field, aluminum bars are widely used to manufacture structural parts of aircraft and rockets due to their light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. In the construction field, aluminum bars are often used to make door and window frames, curtain wall support structures, etc.
