aluminium vs stainless steel ic piping

[lan evo]

whats the pros and cons for aluminium and stainless steel aluminium piping?

 

[Joeker]

Heat transfer and weight.

Aluminium is much lighter but soaks up heat faster.

And of course cost.

Aluminium raw material and aluminium welding cost a bomb.

60% ?!?!?!? since when I sell aluminium or i/c plumbings?

hahaha...at first i really thought that joeker sell aluminium pipe's.
joeker,dosen't s.steel soak up more heat compare to aluminium?
from what i've know,s.steel is bad choice for i/c piping compare
to aluminium.is just that aluminium cost much more then s.steel.
that's why alot of ppl opted to use the next best thing,s.steel.
just my 2 cent.

Yup, aluminium conducts heat much better than stainless steel and hence a better material to be used for intercooler piping.

But it cost a bomb to do so.:regular_smile:

its not easy to weld ALU.. cost depend on type.. 1xxx or 5xxx series.. SS more harder n tough than ALU.. ALU easily to crack compared to SS.. but ALU is lighter than SS..

Yes. Your guys are rite, aLuminium is a good heat conductor than stainless steel.

When things get hot, aluminium gets heat soak much earliers.

Also, when things start to cool down, Aluminium also disipates heat faster.

So its a double-edged sword.
