Aluminum Clad Copper Plate Aluminum Copper Clad Plate

Overview of Aluminum Copper Clad Plate

The aluminum copper clad plate is a clad material composed of an aluminum alloy plate and a copper plate, and its structure is composed of an aluminum alloy plate and a copper plate. Aluminum copper clad plates have the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, high strength, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and good self-lubrication performance. They are widely used in construction, aviation, transportation, electronics, medical and other fields.

 Features of Aluminum Copper Clad Plate

The main features of aluminum copper clad plates are as follows: Light weight: The weight of the aluminum/copper clad plate is only about 1/3 of the traditional pure aluminum plate, so it can significantly reduce the load of the building and reduce the structural cost. Corrosion resistance: The surface of the aluminum copper-clad plate has good corrosion resistance, which can effectively prevent the erosion of buildings by corrosive gases such as acid rain and salt spray.High strength: Aluminum copper-clad plates have very high strength and can be made into various structural parts or parts with complex shapes, uneven thickness, and large loads.High-temperature resistance: Aluminum copper-clad plates can withstand high temperatures up to 1000°C, so they are instrumental in many high-temperature applications.Wear resistance: The wear resistance of aluminum copper-clad plates is perfect; it can effectively reduce friction, reduce wear and tear, and prolong the service life of buildings.Conductivity: Aluminum conducts electricity even better than copper.Recycling: Aluminum is 100% recyclable without losing any of its natural properties.

 Applications of Aluminum Copper Clad Plate

Production Method of Aluminum Copper Clad Plate

Aluminum-copper-clad plates are typically produced using explosion bonding or roll bonding. In explosion bonding, a high-energy explosion forces the aluminum and copper layers together under extreme pressure, creating a strong metallurgical bond at the interface. In roll bonding, the metals are heated and passed through rollers under high pressure to achieve bonding. Both techniques require surface preparation (cleansing and degreasing) to ensure an optimum bond. Post-bonding, home plates may undertake heat treatment to boost bond strength and mechanical buildings. These approaches ensure exceptional bonding top quality, thermal and electric conductivity, and lightweight characteristics for industrial applications.

Storage Condition of Aluminum Copper Clad Plate

Aluminum-copper-clad plates should be stored in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion. Ideal storage temperature is between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Avoid exposure to high humidity, direct sunlight, or corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salt spray. Use protective packaging (e.g., VCI film or desiccants) to shield the plates from oxidation and contamination. Store them horizontally on flat racks or pallets to avoid deformation and ensure proper airflow. Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion, especially at the edges or bonding interface. Proper storage ensures the material retains its structural integrity, thermal/electrical conductivity, and performance.
