Alm Pipe

Aluminum pipe performs well at low temperatures and is resistant to external atmospheric corrosion. However, it cannot be used at high temperatures and will react with heavier metals such as copper and nickel

Material Properties

Aluminum pipes are strong despite their low weight, making them suitable for applications that require high strength and low weight.
Corrosion resistance: Aluminum pipes are resistant to corrosion, which makes them suitable for applications in harsh environments.
Thermal conductivity: Aluminum pipes have excellent thermal conductivity, making them suitable for heat transfer applications.
Electrical conductivity: Aluminum pipes have high electrical conductivity, making them suitable for electrical applications.
Lightweight: Aluminum pipes are lightweight, making them easy to transport and install.
Recyclable: Aluminum pipes are 100% recyclable, making them a sustainable alternative to other metals.

Explanation

The mechanical properties of aluminum alloys depend on the heat treatment, or temper, of the material.
Aluminum is derived from the mineral bauxite, which is converted to aluminum oxide (alumina).
The alumina is then converted to aluminum metal using electrolytic cells and the Hall-Heroult Process
