As a new material, aluminum alloy tubes are widely used in aviation, automobile, electrical appliances and other industries. Compared with traditional water pipe materials, aluminum alloy pipes have excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, but they have the following defects when used as water pipes:
1. The performance of aluminum alloy pipes is greatly affected by the environment, and it is easy to be corroded by strong acids, strong alkalis and heavy metal ions, resulting in water pollution and harm to human health.
2. The water tightness of the aluminum alloy pipe is poor, and the gap in the pipe wall is large, which is easy to cause leakage and water leakage.
3. The aluminum alloy pipe cannot withstand the impact of high-pressure water flow, and is easy to break or deform, which affects the quality and safety of water supply.
In summary, although aluminum alloy pipes have excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, they have many defects and are not suitable for use as water pipes. Choosing the right materials for water pipe construction is the premise of ensuring the quality and safety of water supply.
