Introduction to Aluminum Extrusion Profiles: Advantages and Common Types

2022.12.30

Industrial aluminum alloy profile is a non-ferrous metal structural material, widely used in aerospace, machinery, automobile, building and more. Let’s learn about some basics of aluminum extrusion profiles, including advantages and types.

Advantages of Aluminum Extrusion Profiles

Aluminum profiles are profiles with different sections formed by extruding aluminum rods through dies. The advantages of aluminum profiles:

– The density is lower than other common metals, and the weight is light. 

– In the production process, hot and cold processes are used, which has strong corrosion resistance.

– It has good ductility and can be used to make light alloy with many metal elements. It is made of high-quality materials.

– With strong plasticity and good productivity, it has good advantages for production.

– Good casting performance, can be processed into different shapes of aluminum profiles.

– The surface treatment performance is good, and the appearance color is bright.

– Recyclable metal material with stable chemical property, non magnetism and can be recycled repeatedly.

– Low elastic coefficient, no spark due to collision friction, which is the best performance in automobile technology.

– It has good thermal conductivity, and is outstanding in short distance power transmission.

Types of Aluminum Extrusion Profiles

1. Electrophoretic aluminum profile

Electrophoretic aluminum profiles use aluminum oxide as anode and place it in water-soluble emulsion solution, which is the same as DC. The protective layer of paint film is artificially formed on the surface of the oxide film to form electrophoretic aluminum profiles. The hardness and impact resistance of the paint film of the electrophoretic aluminum profile are good, and it can withstand 3H and above aluminum pen painting. Besides, it has good corrosion resistance, long mission life, fine feel and a variety of colors to choose from.

 

2. Aluminum oxide profile

The aluminum oxide profile is formed by placing the base material as the anode in the electrolyte for solution and manually forming a layer of oxidation protection film on the surface of the base material. It has good corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, hardness and rich colors. It is commonly used in various construction and industrial industries.

 

3. Rare earth foam aluminum profile

Rare earth foam aluminum profile is a new engineering material integrating physical function and structure. It is used in noise elimination and damping, separation engineering, carrier refinement, shielding protection, energy absorption and buffer industries.

 

4. Architectural aluminum profile

Architectural aluminum profiles are made of aluminum and aluminum alloy materials. They are often first made of national public castings, forgings, plates, belts, tubes, bars, profiles, etc., and then cold bending, sawing, drilling, assembling, coloring, and other processes. It is used in industrial machinery and equipment, machine safety fence, workshop partition, building roof, wall, doors and windows, skeleton, furniture, railing, etc.
