Transformer aluminum strips are divided into different grades, specifications, and states according to their uses. Common grades are: 1060, 1050, 1050A, 1060, 1070, 1070A, 1350, Temper: O temper, thickness between 0.08-3.00. Mainly used in large transformers, solar energy, power industry, high and low voltage windings of dry-type transformers as conductive materials.
Aluminum strips and foils for dry-type transformers generally use 1060 O aluminum strips, whose aluminum content reaches more than 99.6%, also known as pure aluminum strips, which belong to a commonly used series in the aluminum strip family. 1060 aluminum strip has good elongation and tensile strength, which can fully meet the conventional processing requirements (stamping, stretching) and high formability. 1060 aluminum strip has high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, but low strength, heat treatment can not strengthen the machinability is not good; can be gas welding, hydrogen atom welding and contact welding, not easy to braze; easy to withstand various pressures Processing and extension, bending.
