What’s Aluminum profile?

The basic properties of aluminum and aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys are widely used in modern industry, the main reason is that they have the following.

Aluminum is easy to recycle and remelt, and is a resource that can be fully and effectively utilized on earth.

Lightweight, aluminum is one-third the weight of steel.

Corrosion resistance. Aluminum in the natural environment, the surface of the formation of a thin layer of oxide film can block the oxygen in the air, to avoid further oxidation, has excellent corrosion resistance, aluminum surface, such as through a variety of different surface treatments, the corrosion resistance of the better, can be suitable for outdoor and more severe environment.

Formability. Suitable for a variety of forming requirements, typical applications in this regard include aluminum wheels, aluminum windows, aluminum doors, aluminum sunrooms and so on.

Good Strength. The use of alloy addition and rolling, heat treatment process can produce strength 2/mm2 ~ 60kg / 2 different strength levels of products, in order to apply to a variety of different strength requirements of the product.

Surface treatment. Aluminum has excellent surface treatment properties including oxidation treatment, surface chemical treatment, powder coating and plating, etc. In particular, powder coating is mostly used for aluminum windows, aluminum doors and aluminum sunroom and so on.

Thermal Conductivity. Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity, so it is widely used in household hardware, aluminum heatsinks, and aluminum radiators. Variety of Forms Aluminum has excellent processability and can be processed into rods, wires, and aluminum extruded profiles, and extruded profiles account for a large proportion of aluminum usage.

Fusibility. Pure aluminum and aluminum-magnesium alloys have excellent fusibility and play an important role in structural and marine applications.

No low temperature brittleness. Aluminum has no low temperature brittleness as carbon steel in ultra-low temperatures, and can be used in low-temperature equipments, ships, and so on.
