The materials commonly used for the Computer fan frame can be selected from a variety of materials, including plastic, metal, steel and copper; And the fan frame usually has a dust-proof function to prevent dust and other substances from entering the system interior, and can also improve the overall beauty of the Computer fan.
Plastic:
Plastic material is one of the most commonly used materials for Computer fan frame, because they have the advantages of low cost, easy processing, light weight, good insulation, and can also provide sufficient structural strength. Common plastic materials include ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer), PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), and polycarbonate (PC), which have good impact resistance and heat resistance.
ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer): This material has good impact resistance, hardness, rigidity, and heat resistance. It is easy to process and shape during the processing, while also having lower costs.
PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate): This material has excellent insulation performance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and heat resistance. At the same time, it also has good weather resistance and electrical insulation, and is widely used in fields such as electronic equipment.
PC (Polycarbonate): This material has excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, and transparency, as well as good mechanical strength and formability. It is widely used in fields such as electronics, healthcare, and automobiles.
PA (Polyamide): This material, also known as nylon, has excellent strength, stiffness, and heat resistance, as well as excellent corrosion resistance and flame retardancy. It is widely used in the field of engineering plastics.
Advantages of plastic fan frames:
Lightweight: plastic is a lightweight material, so the Computer fan of the plastic frame is much lighter than other materials.
Convenient production and processing: Plastic frames can be produced through injection molding and other production methods, and have high processing flexibility.
Good insulation: The plastic outer frame has good insulation, which can effectively prevent static interference.
Low cost: plastic is a material with low production cost, so the Computer fan of the plastic frame is relatively cheap.
They are usually made of high-density polyolefins (such as ABS or PP) and have high heat and chemical resistance. The plastic outer frame has the characteristics of lightweight, easy processing and production, and not easy to rust. These characteristics make the plastic frame a common choice among Computer fan.
Metal: The metal material is usually aluminum or copper, which is a more solid and durable Computer fan frame material, but they are also heavier, harder to process and more expensive. These materials have excellent thermal conductivity and durability, but their cost is usually higher compared to plastic materials. The choice of material depends on multiple factors such as application environment, usage conditions, and cost.
Aluminum: aluminum has the advantages of light weight, good thermal conductivity, good formability, good corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the fan frame of Computer fan. At the same time, aluminum is also relatively easy to process and has a relatively low cost.
Copper: copper is an excellent heat dissipation material with excellent thermal conductivity and conductivity, and is widely used in high-performance Computer fan frames. But the cost of copper is high and processing is relatively difficult.
Steel: Steel has high strength and rigidity, but its thermal conductivity is relatively poor. The Computer fan frame made of steel is durable but heavy
