Steel radiators vs. die-cast aluminum radiators: a comparison of pressure capacity.
When choosing a radiator, in addition to considering its material and appearance, its pressure-bearing capacity is also an important factor that we need to pay attention to. Different materials and manufacturing processes will affect the pressure bearing capacity of radiators. In the market, we often hear about these two types, steel radiators and die-cast aluminum radiators, so what is their pressure capacity?Below we will compare from the following aspects.
1.Material properties.
Steel radiator: made of steel, which has high strength and pressure bearing capacity. Due to the characteristics of its material, steel radiators are not easily deformed when heated and can withstand high pressures.
Die-cast aluminum radiator: Made of aluminum alloy material, it has the advantage of being lightweight and beautiful, but its strength and pressure-bearing capacity are lower than that of steel radiators.
2.Manufacturing process.
Steel radiator: using traditional welding process, after multiple processes in the manufacturing process, the quality is stable and reliable. Due to the special treatment of the welds, the pressure bearing capacity of the steel radiator is even better.
Die-casting aluminum radiator: Die-casting process is adopted, and the quality is relatively stable after multiple processes in the manufacturing process. However, due to the characteristics of aluminum alloy materials, the welds of die-cast aluminum radiators are prone to porosity, which will reduce their pressure-bearing capacity.
3.Use environment.
Steel radiators: suitable for environments with poor water quality and high heating pressure. Due to its high pressure-bearing capacity, steel radiators are better able to adapt to this environment.
Die-cast aluminum radiator: suitable for environments with good water quality and low heating pressure. In this environment, die-cast aluminum radiators can play their advantages of lightness and beauty.
Radiator 4The cost-effective steel radiator is relatively high, but its service life is long, the pressure resistance is strong, and the cost performance is relatively high after long-term use. The die-cast aluminum radiator is relatively low, but its service life is relatively short, and the cost performance is relatively low after long-term use. To sum up, steel radiators and die-cast aluminum radiators have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we need to consider them comprehensively according to our actual needs and use environment when choosing. If you need to withstand high heating pressure or use in an environment with poor water quality, it is recommended to choose steel radiatorsIf you have high requirements for lightness, aesthetics or good water quality, it is recommended to choose die-cast aluminum radiators. No matter which type of radiator you choose, you need to pay attention to the installation specifications and quality inspection to ensure the safety and stability of use.
