ALUMINIUM SPECIFICATIONS
ALUMINIUM ALLOYS FOR CONNECTION HEADS
Aluminium connection heads are used in industry as rugged terminal junction boxes for building temperature sensors, pressure transmitter, level transmitter, electronic transmitter housing, etc.Aluminium enclosure are also often exposed to conditions which can cause corrosion and they must be protected again this.

ALUMINIUM CASTING METHOD

Limatherm uses to produce aluminium enclosure pressure die-casting method.

COPPER FREE ALUMINIUM

Limatherm can use also copper free alloy. The term Copper Free is used to describe aluminium alloys which contain less than 0,4% copper. The copper content for pressure die casting not exceed 0,05%. It is the reduction in the copper content which, increases the natural corrosion resistant properties of aluminium. Copper Free aluminium is particularly resistant to salt atmosphere, sulphur gases and ammonium nitrate. Above a level of 0,4 % copper the range of corrosion due to galvanic action within the structure of the metal increases rapidly.
