Heat & Energy Components

Novelis Advanz™ 7UHS – s701 is a product developed for structural applications requiring high inservice strength. The 7xxx alloy provides the highest T6 strength among current aluminum alloys and has significantly higher strength over incumbent 6xxx alloys. This in turn offers potential for lightweighting of structural parts over advanced high strength steel options without compromising performance requirements. The alloy-temper can be optimized to provide good balance between strength, crash performance and corrosion resistance. Advanz™ 7UHS – s701 is an excellent choice for strength-dominated structural components, such as A-pillar, B-pillar, door beams as well as various other structural reinforcements. This product exhibits excellent specific strength and specific energy absorption along with good hot formability making it an ideal material for lightweighting of structural reinforcements. All values listed are typical.

Heat protection tubes are made by layering several kinds of aluminum alloy foil and other materials, such as fiberglass and plastic with corrugations. The excellent reflectivity of the aluminum alloy on the external surface reflects radiant heat, and its insulating power additionally serves to protect the aluminum flexible tube’s content from heat sources. These products have great flexibility but high dimensional stability, and they can be compressed or extended as required. They can also be fastened or mounted easily by crimping the end fittings.

CORMIFLEX® tubes are folded spiral-seam pipes made of high-grade steel precision strip. Reaching up to 350°C, their high temperature resistance is predominantly used for exhaust gas routing in passenger car, utility vehicle, RV and marine heating units. CORMIFLEX® PLUS bears additional resistance against corrosion due to salt and other aggressive agents.

Air flow routing tubes are designed to channel different kinds of air to appropriate destinations. If you have a specialized vehicle and need superior flexibility in your air duct tubing, these products lead the industry. CARADUCT® flexible tubes are multi-layer, grooved tubes that are wound from a combination of aluminum and paper layers. They possess a particularly high crushing strength and have very good insulation properties. Through high flexibility and small bending radii, they offer good space usage, particularly when laying out in corners. Dükerrohr is a twin flexible tube distinguished by a particularly high insulation effectiveness to reduce temperature drops in the warm air ducting. Since it is installed outside of the vehicle, it carries additional protection against water and oil splashes.
