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. My question: do I ...
The result was aluminum-bodied lugs used to terminate copper wire operated successfully, while copper-bodied lugs used to terminate aluminum wire failed. Three entire series of branch circuit device ...
The aluminum tube/aluminum fin condensing coil first came about in the 1970s. General Electric was in the hvac business at the time, and had built an air conditioning system that used an aluminum ...
With sustainability becoming a growing priority, demand for secondary aluminum, or recycled aluminum, also is increasing give its 95 percent lower energy consumption than that of primary aluminum.
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 ...
In a new approach to studying atmospheric corrosion on copper, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratories are putting multiple corrosion experiments on a single ...
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 ...
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. “Base metals are an ...
When the American copper premium over the international benchmark surged 138% in one trading day, it was more than a sign of market turbulence it was a historic divergence that had the potential to ...
That was exactly the right question. Thank you! Copper rose above $1/pound in January of 1974. Now it’s $4.68. A US dollar in 1974 is currently worth $5.38.
