| Summary: | Recent high price of copper in global market forced the heat, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) industry players to fi nd
alternative materials with relatively lower market price compared to copper such as aluminium for replacement. This study
characterizes tensile properties and strain response of new Cu-Al bi-metal tubes i.e. aluminium cladded copper (ACC) and
copper cladded aluminium (CCA) in order to look at the possibility of applying the bi-metal tubes in HVAC industries. The
result shows that tensile properties of CCA tubes was higher than that of ACC bi-metal tubes in two different strain rates of
1 × 10-3 and 1 × 10-1 sec-1. Also, Strain response refers to the sample elongation at break shows a higher elongation value
of CCA samples compared to ACC. |
