These alloys developed by our company offer good production characteristics while maintaining excellent high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and heat transfer properties.

Aluminum tubes used in photocopier heat rolls are required to have creep resistance, high-temperature strength, and heat transfer characteristics. Although 5000 series alloys such as A5052 have been used in the past, the CM10 alloy developed by our company offers better creep resistance, high temperature strength, and heat transfer properties than 5000 series alloys. Recently, we have developed a new alloy called CM211 which allows for improved productivity while maintaining the characteristics of CM10.

Features

  1. Offer better creep resistance, high temperature strength, and heat transfer properties than ordinary 5000 series alloys.
  2. Both CM10 and CM211 can be used for port hole extrusion.
