Aluminum copper radiator irony

Scrap Wiki

A copper-aluminum radiator typically refers to a radiator with copper heat pipes and aluminum heat sinks. This combination attempts to balance the high thermal conductivity of copper and the lightweight properties of aluminum. Copper-aluminum radiators were once used in some high-performance cars and specific fields, such as modified cars or vintage cars that require extra heat dissipation performance.
Below is a detailed image of a copper-aluminum radiator head after disassembly, including an iron bracket for fixing the radiator and a portion of the copper tube.

Common Sources

Copper-aluminum radiators were once used in some high-performance cars and specific fields, such as modified cars or vintage cars that require extra heat dissipation performance. Copper-aluminum radiator heads generally come from large-scale scrap yards, where they are disassembled by hand, and the iron-containing copper-aluminum radiator heads are packaged separately for sale.

Value Points

The value of copper-aluminum radiator head scrap lies in its copper content. The copper content of copper-aluminum radiator heads is approximately 35-45%, iron is 10-20%, and aluminum is around 10%, with the remaining being plastic, glue strips, and other materials.

Processing Methods

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

Detection Methods

Matching Direction

Scrap processing factories with manual disassembly capabilities
High-competitive market: Suitable for matching to markets with low labor costs and high copper prices, such as Thai or Malaysian scrap processing and disassembly factories.
