Aluminum Extrusion

You are here: Home / Aluminum Extrusion

Aluminum extrusion is the process of aluminum forming. The aluminum extrusion process uses the original form of aluminum, which is called aluminum billet of aluminum ingot.aluminum ingot are hot-melted and extruded to obtain aluminum materials with different cross-sectional shapes, but the proportions of the added alloys are different. Fields are also different. First design and manufacture a mold according to the section of the profile product, and use an extruder to extrude the heated round cast rod from the mold. The commonly used grade 6063、6060、6005、6061、6082、2024、3003、5052、7003、7075 alloy also uses an air-cooling quenching process and subsequent artificial aging process to complete the heat treatment strengthening during extrusion. Different grades of heat treatable strengthening alloys have different heat treatment systems.

Aluminum extrusions are widely used due to their high strength, lightweight, and good conductivity.Fields of application Generally speaking, industrial aluminum profiles refer to all aluminum profiles except for building doors and windows,spare parts , curtain walls, interior and exterior decoration and aluminum profiles for building structures.

The Characteristics Of Aluminum Profiles After Various Surface Treatment

Frosted fabric aluminum profile: Frosted aluminum profile avoids the disadvantage that bright aluminum alloy profiles will cause light interference in certain environments and conditions in architectural decoration. Its surface is as delicate and soft as brocade, which is very popular in the market. However, the existing frosted materials must overcome the uneven surface sand grains, and can see the lack of mold patterns.
Multi-tone surface-treated aluminum profiles: monotonous silver white and brown can no longer meet the architects’ good cooperation with exterior wall decorative tiles and exterior wall latex, new stainless steel, champagne, golden, titanium, red series ( Wine red, burgundy, black, purple), etc. and stained glass can make the decorative effect even better. These profiles must be chemically or mechanically polished and then oxidized to achieve good results.
Electrophoretic painted aluminum profiles: The surface of the electrophoretic painted profiles is soft and can resist the erosion of cement and mortar acid rain. 90% of the aluminum profiles in Japan are electrophoretic painted.
Powder electrostatic spraying aluminum profiles: powder electrostatic spraying profiles are characterized by excellent corrosion resistance, acid and alkali salt spray resistance is much better than oxidation coloring profiles.
Plasma Enhanced Electrochemical Surface Ceramicized Aluminum Profile: This type of profile is the most advanced processing technology in the world today. This profile product is of good quality, but the cost is high. It has more than 20 kinds of colors, and its biggest feature is that it can be colored like a printed cloth according to the needs, the surface of the profile is colorful, and the decorative effect is excellent.

Machining For Aluminum Extrusions
Aluminum Extrusions Process
Application Of Aluminum Extrusions

There are different types of aluminum extruded products. You have simple ones and those that are complex and will require additional processing after extrusion. Simple ones are turned into complex structures through machining and fabrication.

Machining allows you to cut these hard aluminium products into simpler parts. Once that’s done, fabrication facilitates joining the parts into complicated final product.

Aluminum passes through different stages during machining and fabrication. Some of them include countersinking, laser cutting, laser etching, deburring, drilling, tapping, knurling and CNC milling. Once mechanical joints have been put together, welding is also done. This helps bond joints to come up with delicate and more complex structures.

Through machining and fabrication, strengthening is done and better products are manufactured. Such products are used in construction for support considering they’re strong enough to handle the pressure.

From quality to service, strict requirements and high standards help us gain a good reputation among worldwide clients. Our aluminum extrusion profiles are commonly used in the consumer electronics and construction industry, such as frames of doors and windows, also serve for automotive, trains, ships, medical devices, etc.

Select high-quality raw materials: aluminum rods are made of aluminum ingots by melting and casting, which are called industrial aluminum profile raw materials; and raw materials will directly affect the performance of industrial aluminum profiles.
Temperature-controlled heating of aluminum rods: too high or too low temperature will directly affect the hardness of the final product, so the temperature must be strictly controlled during the heating and cooling process;
Design profile molds: The molds are designed with high-precision specifications according to requirements, and are used to extrude profile products of required specifications and cross-sections;
Extrusion of industrial aluminum profiles: At present, the standard extrusion press used for 6063-T5 industrial aluminum profiles is between 1300 tons and 1600 tons, which can meet the normal production of 6063-T5 series industrial aluminum profiles.
Profile straightening correction: There will be a certain deviation after extrusion of industrial aluminum profiles. After forming, a straightening machine should be used for straightening correction.
Artificial aging: Generally speaking, the aluminum profiles produced by extrusion must be aged to improve the strength.
