Pure aluminum strip<\/strong>andCopper clad aluminum strip<\/a><\/strong>The difference in the materials of the two leads to a huge difference in their performance. Different performances can be used in different ways in real life. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of pure aluminum strip and copper clad aluminum strip? The results of the comparison in real life are analyzed.<\/p>\n

Advantages and disadvantages of pure aluminum wire<\/strong><\/h3>\n

advantage:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Lower price<\/strong>: The main advantage of pure aluminum wire is its lower production cost. Compared with pure copper wire, it can significantly reduce the initial investment of the project.<\/li>\n
  2. Lightweight<\/strong>: The specific gravity of pure aluminum wire is about one-third lighter than that of copper. Therefore, when transmitting electricity over long distances, it can reduce the burden on the line compared to copper wire. Especially when a large number of lines need to be laid, the weight advantage of aluminum wire is obvious.<\/li>\n
  3. Conductive properties<\/strong>: Although aluminum has lower conductivity than copper, the conductivity of pure aluminum wire is still reliable enough for general power transmission and low-load applications.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    shortcoming:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Low mechanical strength<\/strong>: Pure aluminum wire is softer than copper wire, has lower tensile strength, and is easily broken or deformed. Therefore, it is prone to damage, especially under high mechanical loads or harsh environments.<\/li>\n
    2. Overheating Problem<\/strong>\uff1aThe resistivity of aluminum is higher than that of copper, which means that when high current flows, aluminum wire will generate more heat than copper wire. This may cause the temperature of the cable to be too high, which in turn affects the safe operation of the equipment.<\/li>\n
    3. Oxidation Problem<\/strong>\uff1aAluminum easily reacts with oxygen in the air to form an aluminum oxide layer. Although the oxide layer itself can provide some protection, under some conditions, the oxide layer may break, resulting in reduced electrical performance and even electrical connection failure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
