Buy Aluminum Strip For Pipe Manufacturers, Manufacturer

Aluminum strip for pipe refers to the 8011 - grade aluminum strip used in the manufacturing of Aluminum plastic composite pipes .This Multi-layer tubes normally include PEX pipe,PERT pipe,PE pipe and PPR pipe, etc . The main Alloy for tube aluminum strips are 8011,3003 and 8006.

Product Description

Chemical Composition

The main alloying elements of 8011 aluminum strip are silicon (Si) and iron (Fe), with a silicon content of 0.5 - 0.9% and an iron content of 0.6 - 1.0%. The remaining is mainly aluminum, along with trace amounts of other elements such as copper, magnesium, and manganese.

Mechanical Properties

In the O temper (fully annealed), the tensile strength is 70 - 110 MPa, the yield strength is 30 - 50 MPa, and the elongation is 20 - 40%. These properties make it have good formability and ductility, which is conducive to the processing and manufacturing of pipes. The mechanical Properties.

Can be customized according to your special request too!

Dimensions

The thickness of 8011 aluminum strip for pipes is usually in the range of 0.1 -1.0 mm, and the width can be 10 - 300mm. For example, some common thicknesses are 0.21 mm with a tolerance of ±0.02 mm, and widths can range from 20 - 300 mm with a tolerance of ±0.2 mm.

Advantages in Pipe Manufacturing

  • Excellent Formability: It has good roll - forming properties, which can be easily formed into various pipe shapes, and is suitable for processes such as welding, including TIG welding, laser welding, overlap welding, and butt welding.
  • High Corrosion Resistance: The alloy has good corrosion - resistant properties, which can ensure the service life of the pipe in different environments.
  • Good Adhesion: After special chemical degreasing treatment, it has good adhesion with polyethylene, so it is widely used in the production of multilayer pipes.

Storage Instructions for Aluminum Pipe Strip

  • 1 General Requirement Pipe Mill Aluminum Strip requires strict environmental and handling control to maintain surface quality, flatness and mechanical properties.
  • 2 Storage Environment Store in a dry, ventilated, and covered warehouse with humidity below 60%. Avoid direct sunlight, rain, and corrosive gases. Keep away from acids, alkalis, chemicals and moisture sources.
  • 3 Stacking Method Place strips on clean wooden or plastic pallets. Do not stack directly on the ground. Maintain reasonable stacking height to prevent deformation or indentation.
  • 4 Surface Protection Separate layers with protective paper or film to avoid scratches. Keep the storage area clean and dust-free.
  • 5 Handling & Inspection Handle gently during loading and unloading to prevent edge damage and bending. Regularly inspect for oxidation, discoloration or deformation.
  • 6 Purpose Proper storage ensures stable performance during pipe making and extends product service life.
