What Is An Aluminum Alloy Case?

Relationship between aluminum alloy case and electronic components?

Electronic instrument  products are basically composed of circuit boards, electronic components and other accessories, which are easy to be damaged, so a enclosure is required to protect these components.

 Common household appliances such as refrigerators, microwave ovens and air conditioners all have a enclosure. What needs enclosure protection more is computer mainframe or audio, and even other high-end scientific research instruments and equipment cabinet.

The components inside the instrument need to be fixed. In addition, there are many electronic components, so a special shaped box or box will be designed for this type of instrument and equipment to place components and control panels. These special shaped boxes are collectively referred to as boxes. The chassis is a kind of enclosure. It can be made of many different materials, some of which are stainless steel and some of which are aluminum. However, the most commonly used material for chassis in the market is aluminum alloy.

Aluminum alloy is made of pure aluminum communication equipment and some other alloy elements, such as aluminum magnesium alloy. Aluminum, zinc, magnesium and copper can be combined into superhard aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of light weight, low cost, simple processing and strong heat dissipation.

The heat dissipation effect is so good that even the automobile engine part uses aluminum alloy materials. As for the computer cases, most of them are made of aluminum copper alloy. The main consideration is heat dissipation, because after copper and aluminum are mixed and extruded, their heat dissipation performance is quite good, and even some high-end cpu water-cooled fans use this material.

The overall aluminum alloy case is made of high-quality aluminum alloy profiles. It has the characteristics of simple processing, strong structure, good appearance and texture, and strong heat dissipation. It is widely used in instruments and meters, electronics, communications, medical treatment, industrial control, military and other industries.

It is the first choice for high-grade instruments and meters. In addition to providing space for storage of power supply, pcb board hard disk drive and other storage devices, the aluminum alloy chassis also provides the control panel or display mounting hole of the operating instrument, so that the operator can more conveniently operate the instrument or observe the operation of the instrument.
