Nuclear power is a very efficient and clean way of transforming water into steam, which powers the turbines that generate electricity that keeps the lights on in towns and cities. This form of power generation is superior to all others when it comes to reliability and efficiency. Nuclear power plants can produce continuous power day and night on a large scale for many months without downtime. Aluminum alloys are used in some portions of nuclear plants. At Howard Precision Metals, we are your reliable aluminum distributor, offering nuclear industry aluminum extrusions in various alloys.
Aluminum alloys are a low-cost material option that possess corrosion resistance and low thermal neutron absorption properties at low temperatures, making it ideal for use in training reactors or research – as cladding material for example – in the low temperature and low kilowatt power ranges. In addition to its use in research reactor parts, it is also used in nuclear batteries and spacecraft, and has potential for use in nuclear waste storage container applications.
Did you know that the surface of aluminum has the ability to reflect 95% of the infrared rays that strike it?
When it comes to the need for aluminum extrusion shapes for your nuclear power industry applications, look no further than the aluminum alloy and aluminum extrusion supply and capabilities we offer at Howard Precision Metals.
