Aluminum profiles are aluminum materials with different cross-sectional shapes obtained by hot melting and extrusion of aluminum rods. The production process of aluminum profiles mainly includes three processes: casting, extrusion and coloring. Casting is the first process of aluminum production.
The application of aluminum profiles is now very extensive, involving different fields. So what is the difference between the industrial aluminum profiles and civilian aluminum profiles we generally see? In what fields are they used? Today, let's explore the mystery between them from the perspective of material, characteristics, and application fields...
The aluminum used in civilian aluminum profiles is mostly cooked aluminum with a high aluminum content. For example, aluminum pots, aluminum lunch boxes, aluminum sheets, aluminum wires, and aluminum tubes used in daily life are all made of cooked aluminum.
Industrial aluminum profiles are a new type of alloy material. They have high requirements for the physical properties of aluminum alloys. Other elements need to be added to improve the physical properties of aluminum itself, such as commonly used aluminum-silicon alloys, aluminum-magnesium alloys, aluminum-copper alloys, etc., which are generally known as raw aluminum.
Due to the different aluminum content of civil aluminum and industrial aluminum, their characteristics are also different. Civil aluminum is relatively soft and can be rolled into various shapes. After oxidation, the surface of industrial aluminum profiles has a very beautiful appearance and is resistant to dirt. Once coated with oil, it is very easy to clean.
Application areas Generally speaking, civil aluminum is used more in daily life, such as doors and windows that we are familiar with.
Industrial aluminum profiles refer to all aluminum profiles except for building doors and windows, curtain walls, indoor and outdoor decorations, and building structures. Such as automated mechanical equipment, encapsulated skeletons, and customized molds for each company according to their own mechanical equipment requirements, such as assembly line conveyor belts, elevators, dispensing machines, testing equipment, shelves, etc., electronic machinery industry and clean rooms, etc. These are the areas where industrial aluminum profiles are applied.
Finally, whether it is a civilian aluminum profile for home use or an industrial aluminum profile with higher industrial requirements, we must understand the performance involved in the purchase process and choose aluminum profiles that meet various standards according to our own needs.
