2xxx Serious Aluminum Alloy Tubes

2xxx Serious Aluminum Alloy Tubes, a high-performance metal product independently developed and produced by Shanghai Perfect Industry Co.,Ltd., are aluminum-copper alloy-based tubes. The core advantage of this series lies in its high copper content, which endows the tubes with remarkable high strength, superior machinability, and good heat resistance. Additionally, they possess decent corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, making them a preferred choice in numerous high-strength requirement scenarios across industrial production and civilian use.

Example

Case Study : 2124 Aluminum Tubes for Industrial High-Pressure Hydraulic Manifolds

Client: A German industrial machinery manufacturerChallenge: The client was designing high-pressure hydraulic manifolds for heavy-duty construction equipment (excavators, bulldozers) and required tubing that could be brazed to aluminum manifold blocks, withstand extreme pressure spikes (up to 5000 psi), and resist wear from hydraulic fluid contaminants. Conventional 2024 tubes had poor brazability, while brazable 6061 tubes lacked the required pressure resistance.Solution: Selected 2124-T851 aluminum tubes—a high-strength 2 series grade engineered for improved brazability and elevated temperature performance. The T851 temper (solution heat-treated, cold-worked, and artificially aged) provides exceptional tensile strength (517 MPa) and good brazing compatibility with aluminum-silicon brazing alloys. The tubes were produced with a clean, oxide-free surface to ensure strong, leak-free brazed joints with the manifold blocks.Implementation & Results:

1. Brazing trials confirmed 100% joint integrity with no porosity or cracking, passing hydraulic pressure testing at 7500 psi (1.5x the operating pressure) per ISO 15540.

2. Field testing on construction equipment showed the tubes withstood pressure spikes and hydraulic fluid contamination for 6,000+ operating hours without failure, reducing equipment downtime by 20% compared to previous steel tubing solutions.

3. The 2124 tubes were 45% lighter than steel, reducing the manifold’s weight and improving the equipment’s maneuverability.

4. The tubes’ resistance to elevated temperatures (up to 150°C) ensured reliable performance in the high-heat environment of construction equipment engine bays.Conclusion: 2124-T851 aluminum tubes addressed the client’s dual challenges of high pressure resistance and brazability, making them a superior material for industrial hydraulic manifolds in heavy-duty equipment.

Quality Control

•Raw Material Inspection: Conduct strict inspections on aluminum ingots, copper ingots, and other raw materials, including component analysis, purity detection, and surface quality inspection, to ensure that only qualified raw materials enter the production process.

•Production Process Supervision: Implement full-process monitoring of smelting, extrusion, drawing, heat treatment, and other production links. Key process parameters are real-time tracked and recorded to avoid quality defects caused by process deviations.

•Finished Product Testing: Each batch of finished tubes undergoes comprehensive testing, including dimensional accuracy measurement, mechanical performance testing (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation), corrosion resistance testing, and surface quality inspection. Only products that pass all tests are allowed to leave the factory.
