How Much Do You Truly Know About Aluminum Profiles?

In the 21st century, China's aluminum processing industry has undergone a significant metamorphosis, aligning with market demands and scientific advancements. This transformation has gradually shifted traditional aluminum processing materials towards modernized ones, resulting in tremendous changes. Key features of Chinese aluminum processing materials now incline towards high-performance, high-precision, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability, with many products gaining acclaim both domestically and internationally.

Aluminum profiles remain a domain where many people possess only surface-level understanding. Today, let's delve deeper into the realm of aluminum.

What is Aluminum Processing?

Aluminum processing involves various techniques and processes such as melting, rolling, extrusion, and surface treatment to produce final products for diverse industries.

Aluminum processing is categorized into deformation processing and casting processing. Deformation processing includes extrusion and rolling. Products made through extrusion are called extruded profiles, primarily comprising architectural and industrial profiles. Products from rolling are known as sheets, strips, and foils, encompassing various aluminum sheets, strips, and foil materials. Casting processing involves precision aluminum alloy die casting and precision sheet metal fabrication.

Classification of Aluminum Processing Products

Aluminum processing products in China primarily revolve around profiles and sheets. Aluminum profiles can be classified based on different aluminum compositions and alloy ratios into series 1 to 9, with the 6-series being prevalent in the market. The 6-series aluminum profiles mainly consist of magnesium and silicon alloys.

The 6-series aluminum profiles are broadly categorized into two types:

1. Architectural profiles: Mainly used in the construction sector, particularly for doors, windows, and curtain walls.

2. Industrial profiles: Widely utilized in aerospace, rail transportation, radiators, and general industrial aluminum profiles.

"Ceramic Electrolysis" (Ceramic Dip) emerges as an innovative aluminum alloy surface treatment process, combining a technique imported from Japan called "matte electrophoresis" and tailored to suit Chinese climate characteristics. This process, named "Ceramic Dip" due to its ceramic-like delicate texture, far surpasses similar products in weather resistance, environmental friendliness, and durability.

Characteristics of Ceramic Dip Products:

1. Ceramic-like delicate texture.

2. High hardness, excellent wear resistance, and extended lifespan.

3. Exceptional weather resistance, enduring high humidity and salt environments, and year-round temperature fluctuations.

4. Matte surface treatment, soft and elegant surface, effectively reducing indoor light pollution.

5. Powerful self-cleaning function; dust and stains on the surface can be easily wiped away.

"Enamel Wire" introduces a new aluminum profile surface treatment technique. Building upon the Ceramic Dip process, it incorporates surface brushing treatment, resulting in a visually appealing and three-dimensional surface. This technique not only enhances the visual aesthetics of aluminum profiles but also inherits the performance advantages of the Ceramic Dip process.

Euro Standard Profiles

Euro Standard Profiles focus on improving the substrate quality of aluminum profiles, continually refining processes to meet European standards across all performance aspects. Each profile is professionally designed and produced according to customer requirements.

Main Features of Euro Standard Profiles:

1. High dimensional accuracy: Elevating assembly precision for doors and windows.

2. High tensile strength: Outstanding yield strength and tensile strength data.

3. High hardness: Exceptional mechanical properties (hardness), enhancing safety and impact resistance of doors and windows.

4. High flatness: Reducing deviation in transverse plane clearance and longitudinal twisting, resulting in more aesthetically pleasing door and window assembly effects.
