hose who are new to the industry. Aluminum profiles are also called aluminum alloy profiles, but they are not aluminum alloys. The difference is that the shape is different. Aluminum alloy is a kind of material, but aluminum profiles are already processed products and can be used directly.
First of all, understand the formation of aluminum profiles, that is, aluminum ingots/bars go through the three processes of casting, extrusion and surface treatment to obtain aluminum profiles with different cross-sectional shapes. Aluminum ingots and aluminum rods are the most primitive materials for all aluminum profiles, with a length of 8-12 meters, and four diameters: D90mm, D105mm, D120mm, and D178mm. The domestic conventional material is 6063.
1. Melting and casting is the first process of aluminum production. The main process is batching, smelting and casting.
2. Extrusion is a means of forming profiles. First, a mold is created by section design, and then the heated round cast rod is extruded from the mold by an extruder.
3. Surface treatment is to treat the surface of the profile. Generally, anodized aluminum is commonly used, which presents the surface visual effects of sand surface, bright white and oxidation coloring.
Industrial aluminum profiles
Finished aluminum profiles can be divided into two categories, one is architectural aluminum profiles, which are mainly used in our daily life, such as aluminum profile doors and windows, and aluminum profile curtain walls can be seen everywhere in our lives; the other is industrial Aluminum profiles are mainly used for industrial production and manufacturing, such as automated machinery and equipment, the skeleton of protective covers, and companies customize molds according to their own mechanical equipment requirements, such as assembly line conveyor belts, hoists, glue dispensers, testing equipment, and shelves. Wait, the electronic machinery industry and clean room are mostly used
The above is a preliminary overview of aluminum profiles, suitable for beginners who have just entered the industry
