Introduction To TU2/5083 Copper Aluminum Clad Plate
TU2/5083 copper aluminum clad plate is a bimetallic composite material made of high-purity copper (TU2) and aluminum alloy (5083) through explosion welding, rolling composite or detonation + rolling. TU2 copper has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, while 5083 aluminum alloy is known for its good corrosion resistance, strength and weldability. The metallurgical combination of the two materials can not only achieve the complementarity of material properties, but also greatly reduce costs.

Production process of TU2/5083 copper-aluminum clad plate
1. Explosive welding technology
Explosive welding is a process that uses the high-energy shock wave generated by the explosion of explosives to achieve metallurgical bonding of two metal materials. This method can break through the limitations of "difficult-to-weld metals" in traditional welding and achieve a strong bond between copper and aluminum.
Advantages:
High bonding strength;
Dense bonding interface to avoid inclusions and cracks;
Can be used for large-area composites.
2. Rolling composite method
Hot rolling or cold rolling is used to press copper and aluminum to form a composite plate. The copper and aluminum surfaces are first treated (deoxidation, roughening, etc.) to improve the bonding strength.
Advantages:
Relatively low cost;
Suitable for continuous and batch production;
Can achieve thinner composite layer control.
3. Detonation + rolling composite
Combining explosive welding with rolling technology, after obtaining a preliminary bond, the interface quality and composite uniformity are further improved by rolling. This process is widely used in the preparation of high-performance TU2/5083 copper-aluminum composite plates.

Advantages of TU2/5083 copper-aluminum clad plate1. Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity
1. Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity
The TU2 copper layer is on the surface or functional area of the composite plate, with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and is suitable for scenes with dense current or high thermal conductivity requirements, such as power connection plates, heat dissipation modules, etc.
2. Good corrosion resistance and structural strength
The 5083 aluminum alloy layer has good structural support and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for applications in corrosive environments such as oceans and chemicals. For example, the aluminum layer effectively reduces the overall weight while increasing the corrosion resistance life.
3. Reduce costs
Compared with pure copper materials, the use of TU2/5083 copper-aluminum clad plates can greatly reduce the amount of copper materials and reduce the overall cost, which is suitable for large-scale application scenarios.
4. Good processing performance
The copper-aluminum composite material has good formability and can be subjected to mechanical processing such as shearing, stamping, and bending. It is also suitable for welding (especially aluminum end welding) to meet the needs of complex component manufacturing
Application fields of TU2/5083 copper-aluminum clad plate
1. Power industry
Busbar, cable connection terminal, busbar
Conductor material of high-frequency transformer
Thermal conductive heat sink of power distribution equipment
The copper layer provides a low-resistance channel, and the aluminum layer reduces the overall weight and cost, replacing the preferred material of the all-copper solution.
2. Shipbuilding and marine engineering
5083 aluminum alloy is the representative material of marine aluminum. After being compounded with TU2 copper, it is used in hull grounding system, corrosion-resistant electrical connection plate, etc., with both anti-corrosion and conductive properties.
3. New energy equipment
Photovoltaic junction box, inverter heat sink
Power battery housing guide plate
Hydrogen energy/fuel cell thermal conductive structural parts
Copper-aluminum composite materials are playing an increasingly important role in the lightweight and energy efficiency management of new energy vehicles.
4. Heat exchange system
Using the high thermal conductivity of copper and the corrosion resistance and light weight of aluminum, TU2/5083 copper-aluminum composite plates are widely used in heat exchangers, air conditioners, refrigeration equipment and other systems to improve heat exchange efficiency.
