High Electrical Conductivity Silver Aluminum Rods for Aircraft Structure Rivets

Product Specification

Description

An aluminum rod is a fundamental aluminum product produced through melting, purification, degassing, impurity removal, slag removal, and continuous casting.
The resulting rods feature excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity.
Depending on the alloying elements added, aluminum rods are divided into eight main series, each with distinct properties and applications.
