Aluminum elbows is made of an aluminum alloy material elbow, it is the same as other elbow purposes, only used in a specific place, used for the junction of the bend of the pipe. Aluminum alloy elbows common alloy number has 1060 5052 5083 6061 6062 and so on. Among them, 1060 Aluminium elbow is pure aluminium alloy elbow, aluminum content is relatively high.

Aluminum alloys elbows by angle division if there are aluminum 90 degree elbow, aluminum 45 degree elbow, aluminum 60 degree elbow, aluminum 180 degree elbow and so on, the other angle can be according to customer requirements for custom processing, these are relatively common use angle.
Compared to other carbon steel elbow, aluminum alloys elbows some advantages, such as lightweight, easy to install and use, corrosion resistance, non-toxic, and aluminium elbow low temperature resistant performance is good, when the temperature is very low, but increased its strength and no brittle, is ideal for low temperature device materials.

6061 aluminium elbow is a high quality aluminum alloy product produced by heat treatment and pre stretching process, although its strength can not be compared with that of 2XXX series or 7XXX series, its magnesium and silicon alloy content is much, and its processability is excellent. It has excellent weldability and electroplating performance, at the same time, it has good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, dense material, no defects, easy polishing, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent features.
Matters needing attention in actual installation of aluminum elbows: before the installation of aluminum elbows, it must be verified whether its passage meets the standard requirements of Engineering elbow interface, clean surface dirt. Aluminium elbow general conditions can be installed in any position of the pipeline, but in order to facilitate operation and maintenance, we should pay attention to the aluminium elbow medium flow should be vertical valve below the upstream, so the aluminum elbows can only be installed horizontally. Aluminum elbows should pay attention to sealing in installation, prevent leakage phenomenon, affect the normal operation of the pipeline. Aluminium elbow ball valve, globe valve, gate valve use, only for full open or full closed, not allowed to do adjustment flow, so as to avoid the sealing cover erosion, accelerate wear.
Packaging of aluminum elbows: The usual aluminum elbows for packaging, we are to take reasonable packaging, of course, we are packing is to ensure that the aluminium elbow cannot appear bump scratches, usually this will lead to a decline in the quality of aluminum elbow, So, we are usually the first aluminium elbow into cartons, cartons loaded to good inventory number, we then packed in wooden cases, so as to ensure that the aluminium elbow does not appear the phenomenon of the elbow bump.
