Whether in industrial production or daily life, industrial aluminum profiles can be seen everywhere. With its unique technical characteristics, it has won the favor of many customers. Industrial aluminum profiles are not only widely used, but can also be customized into many different frame structures, including workbenches, assembly line brackets, conveyor lines, shelves, trolleys, computer tables, fences, partitions, protective covers, cabinets, etc. The reason why such a framework structure can be customized is inseparable from its technical characteristics.
Industrial aluminum profiles are mainly used for automated mechanical equipment, sealing frames, and customized molding according to the requirements of various companies' mechanical equipment, such as assembly line conveyor belts, elevators, dispensing machines, testing equipment, etc. The electronic machinery industry and clean rooms are mostly used! So, what are the technical characteristics of industrial aluminum profiles? Below, the editor will give you a detailed explanation.
1. Corrosion resistance
The density of industrial aluminum profiles is only 2.7g/cm3, which is approximately one-third of the density of steel, copper, or brass (7.83g/cm3, 8.93g/cm3, respectively). Under most environmental conditions, including air, water (or salt water), petrochemicals, and many chemical systems, aluminum can exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.
2. Conductivity
It is often selected due to its excellent conductivity. On the basis of equal weight, the conductivity of aluminum is nearly half that of copper. More material saving, although the price is higher than ordinary steel, it can greatly save materials during design. The load-bearing parts can be designed thicker and the non load-bearing parts can be designed thinner.
3. Thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is about 50-60% of that of copper, which is beneficial for manufacturing heat exchangers, evaporators, heating appliances, cookware, car cylinder heads, and radiators. Industrial aluminum profiles are lightweight, and metal materials with the same strength are only half the weight of other materials. This way, both transportation and assembly can save a lot of costs.
4. Non ferromagnetic
Industrial aluminum profiles are non ferromagnetic, which is an important feature of the electrical and electronic industries. Industrial aluminum profiles cannot self ignite, which is important for applications involving loading, unloading or contact with flammable and explosive materials.
5. Usability
The mechanical workability of industrial aluminum profiles is very good. In various deformed and cast aluminum alloys, as well as in various states after the production of these alloys, the processing characteristics vary greatly, which requires special machine tools or techniques.
6. Formability
The variation in allowable deformation is controlled by the specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, and corresponding work hardening rate.
7. Reproducibility
The recyclability of aluminum is very high, and the characteristics of recycled aluminum are almost the same as that of raw aluminum. Corrosion resistant, long service life, aluminum profiles themselves are corrosion-resistant metals and are not prone to rusting. Moreover, the surface of industrial aluminum profiles has undergone anodizing treatment, and a hard oxide film can effectively protect the aluminum profile substrate for a long time. Even in harsh outdoor environments, it can be stably used for decades.
