What are the advantages of aluminum housing? Wide range of uses of aluminum housing

Now the shell material of many electronic products is mainly aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy shell has become one of the mainstream products in the electronic industry. This is mainly due to the unique advantages of aluminum alloy shell. So what are the advantages of aluminum alloy shell?

Aluminum shell plastic material is generally light and has high hardness. The strength of many engineering plastics even exceeds that of metal. Aluminum alloy shells are corrosion-resistant because they have a corrosion-resistant oxide film on their surface, which can prevent further corrosion of the internal metal. Therefore, when the product application field has corrosion resistance requirements, the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy shells produced by anodizing, baking varnish and other processes can also be applied to quite a few fields. The aluminum alloy shell after processing can meet the application requirements of most scenarios. The heat dissipation capacity of aluminum alloy shells is also very good, and its thermal conductivity is higher than that of ordinary shells. So where are the specific advantages of aluminum alloy shells?

1. The density of aluminum is very small, only 2.7g/cm. Although it is relatively soft, it can be made into various aluminum alloys, such as hard aluminum, super hard aluminum, rust-proof aluminum, cast aluminum, etc. Therefore, it can be processed into various shapes. These aluminum alloys are widely used in manufacturing industries such as aircraft, cars, trains, and ships.

2. Due to its high strength and rigidity, the aluminum alloy shell can withstand sufficient pressure, bending force, tension, and impact force even in the case of relatively thin thickness, and can still show a good safety factor.

3. The oxide film on the surface of aluminum is not only corrosion-resistant, but also has a certain insulation property, so aluminum is widely used in the electrical manufacturing industry, wire and cable industry, and radio industry. The shell made of aluminum alloy is hard, can be cold-processed to strengthen its hardness, and has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Compared with shells of other materials, this is more in line with the current market demand.

4. The aluminum alloy shell is highly flexible and has good anti-leakage performance. The depth can be cut arbitrarily according to needs, and it is highly waterproof. It can also be used in the wild and in places with poor environment, and has strong adaptability.

5. High recycling rate: The aluminum alloy shell can be replaced at any time if it is damaged during use, and the replaced product can be recycled, which protects resources and the environment at the same time.

What is the processing technology of aluminum alloy power supply casing?

1、Precision die casting technology

The connecting parts of the aluminum alloy power supply housing and the body frame structure are mostly cast, mainly using high-precision die-casting methods such as semi-solid die-casting.

At present, the semi-solid metal casting used in domestic and foreign industrial applications mainly refers to thixotropic casting, which is widely used in body frame structures. As a precision forming method, thixotropic casting can form high-strength workpieces and can achieve one-time forming of complex shapes. It can be used to mass-produce various parts without cutting or with very little cutting, reducing the number of parts.

2、Hydroforming technology

Internal high pressure forming technology is an emerging new technology for processing and forming aluminum alloy power supply housings, and it is currently a research frontier in the world. Through internal pressurization and axial force feeding, the tube blank is pressed into the mold cavity for forming. Various connectors can be formed at one time by internal high pressure forming method according to their structural characteristics, or they can be made into profiles by general extrusion methods first, and then corrected by internal high pressure forming method. Through internal pressurization and axial force feeding, the tube blank is pressed into the mold cavity for forming.

Due to the excellent performance of internal high pressure forming and the large degree of freedom in design, an internal high pressure forming part can replace a workpiece formed by welding several parts, thus avoiding the distortion and deformation caused by welding, reducing weight, saving materials, and having high dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties. Its main advantages are: reducing weight and saving materials.

3.‌Aluminum Extrusion‌：

Aluminum extrusion is the process of using an extruder to extrude aluminum alloy billets through a die and form the desired cross-sectional shape. This process can refine the grain structure and is widely used in building materials, aerospace industry, precision electronics and other fields.

4.‌CNC machining‌：

After aluminum extrusion, it is usually necessary to perform preliminary CNC machining on the aluminum profile to remove excess material and achieve preliminary shape and size requirements. Further CNC machining is used to process the composite structure to ensure the final shape and size requirements.

5.‌Injection molding technology‌：

Aluminum alloy injection molding technology is to inject aluminum alloy melt into a mold to form parts or products of the desired shape after cooling and solidification. This technology has the characteristics of high precision, low cost and short molding cycle, and is widely used in the fields of automobiles, aerospace and electronics.

6.Sandblasting‌：

Sand blasting is the process of spraying granular materials onto the surface of aluminum alloy through compressed air or liquid to remove dirt, oxide layer and uneven surface texture to make the surface smooth and uniform.
