Aluminum brass radiator clean

Scrap Wiki

A copper aluminum radiator often refers to a radiator that has purple copper heat dissipation tubes and aluminum heat dissipation fins. This combination attempts to balance the high thermal conductivity of copper with the lightweight characteristics of aluminum. Copper aluminum radiators were once used in some high-performance cars and vehicles in specific fields, such as in modified cars or vintage cars that required extra cooling performance.
Below are detailed images of an iron-copper aluminum radiator head after the radiator has been removed. It includes an iron plate used for securing the radiator and a portion of the purple copper tubes.

Common Classification

Common Sources

Copper aluminum radiators were once used in some high-performance cars and vehicles in specific fields, such as in modified cars or vintage cars that required extra cooling performance. Copper aluminum radiator iron heads typically come from scrap yards of a certain size, where they are manually dismantled from collected copper aluminum radiators, and the iron heads with higher iron content are packaged and sold separately.

Value Points

The value point of copper aluminum radiator iron scrap lies in its copper content. The iron head of a copper aluminum radiator contains approximately 35%-45% copper, around 10%-20% iron, 10% aluminum, and the rest is plastic, rubber strips, etc.

Processing Methods

Copper aluminum radiator head scrap requires further manual disassembly, separating the iron head, purple copper tubes, and other metal or non-metal parts.

Detection Methods

Matching Direction

Scrap processing factories with manual disassembly capabilities
Strongly Competitive Market: Suitable for matching to markets with lower labor costs and better copper prices, such as scrap processing and dismantling factories in Thailand, Malaysia, etc.
