Selection Factors for Fin Material. When selecting a fin material, engineers consider: Common Fin Materials 1. Aluminum (and its Alloys) The most widely used fin material by far. 2. Copper (and its Alloys) The classic choice for maximum thermal performance. 3. Carbon Steel / Corten Steel Used for high-temperature and specific corrosive...

Finned Tube Types Type Bonding Method Typical Materials Key Advantages Common Applications L-Finned Mechanical (Wrapped) Al on Cu/CS Low Cost, High Fin Ratio HVAC, Air Conditioning Embedded (G) Mechanical (Locked) Al on Cu/CS Good Thermal Cyclability Process Heaters, Heat Recovery Welded Metallurgical (Welded) Steel/SS on CS/SS Highest Strength,...

Integral Low-Fin Tubes Manufacturing: The fins are formed from the wall of the tube itself, typically by a rolling or cold-forming process. The fins are much smaller and lower than other types.Bond: The fins and tube are a single, monolithic piece of metal.Advantages:No risk of fin separation or contact resistance.Excellent for...
