Sorry if this belongs in my last post on the P3125 heatsink.<P>Anyway- there's been discussion in this forum about corrosion issues with copper and aluminum next to each other.

Discussions with the manufacturers of copper and aluminum lugs revealed another surprising issue: Once the lug setscrew is torqued to specification and the bolt with a Belleville washer is torqued to ...

But as good a conductor as aluminum is, it’s still only about 60% the conductivity of copper, so aluminum wire for branch circuits needs to be stepped up to the next AWG size — 12 AWG for 15 ...

And China is likely to need 100,000-250,000 tonnes less copper this year, Goldman Sachs has estimated, because the authorities released quality standards for low-voltage aluminum alloy power ...

Corrosion Science (2018). [4] The influence of artificial ageing on the corrosion behaviour of a 2050 aluminium–copper–lithium alloy. Corrosion Science (2014). Back to "Metals and Alloy Materials" ...

Aluminum quickly is becoming the new metal of choice. Because of its lightweight, durability and corrosion-resistant properties, aluminum has secured its place as an essential material in the modern ...

Sandia Researchers Perform First-Ever Multiple Copper Corrosion Experiments On Single Silicon Wafer Date: August 7, 2000 Source: Sandia National Laboratories Summary: In a new approach to studying ...

The use of aluminium in wiring is unlikely to bring a smile to the face of anyone who has had to deal with it in a 1960s, or early 1970s-era house. The causes behind the fires and other accidents w… ...

(Reference image from Pxfuel). A new report by Wood Mackenzie predicts that the usage of aluminum, copper, and zinc in the solar power sector will double by 2040, thus prompting an increase in demand.

Much to Forty’s dismay, some manufacturers continue to use aluminum for their condensing coils. He notes that two of the biggest problems are that aluminum coils are more difficult to maintain and ...

The great debate of copper vs. aluminum windings in motors is still going on. It’s a topic that I first wrote about in 1988, and it remains a topic of discussion today as engineers in a variety of ...
