Aluminum is s shiny meal with different properties which popularity increases day to day . One of these applications that most of us know about is aluminum profile . Just you need to look at your windows and doors in your house . Using aluminum for its ductility is so much common that it has been replaced with iron and is widely used in different industries .
Literally , the profile means constant cross - section in length . In the world of metals and construction , the aluminum profile contains many different types . The main use of profiles is for the manufacturer of steel windows and steel doors .
Aluminum is a silvery soft and light metal with high ductility . Of the most significant properties of aluminum is to be light and not to be oxide . Aluminum extrusion profile is one of the most widely used parts of using aluminum world widely .
In order to produce aluminum profile , the primary metal called aluminum billet is placed under very high pressure and suitable temperature . After that , they moved through certain forms . So the primary material changes to desired forms .
Because of the application of high pressure and thermal processes done on the aluminum , the primary material transforms and the aluminum profile is produced as a result . Profiles can be produced based on desired sizes and dimensions . Different machines are used to produce aluminum profiles .
There are many metals in the industry , each having their own mechanical properties and chemical compounds . Among their most popular are steel and aluminum . A variety of products are produced on the basis of these two metals , which are often used in industry or construction . Aluminum is a popular metal that rapidly acquired a special place in the market . You would ask why? Because :
• Cost – effectiveness
• Flexibility
• Formability
• Low density
• High resistance
• Not oxide
• Low energy consumed
• Beautiful appearance
Aluminum products are produced through different methods . Generally , there are three main methods applied in this area , which are :
• Rolling
• Casting
• Extrusion
Aluminum profiles are produced in three different types : Simple , Thermal break and Aluminum - wood . Simple aluminum windows are also produced in two kinds : Cronite and ST ; latter is more useful because of quality and appropriate features .
Comparing different kinds of profiles , simple windows have very high energy dissipation ; but thermal break windows , having thermal insulation ( the space between the internal and external parts that are covered by a polyamide thong ) , reduce this loss and are completely optimal .
These windows have the ability to withstand temperatures up to 220 A ° C , as well as the cold to a temperature of 50 ° C , and their apparent beauty is significant .
Aluwood windows are made up of two layers , the internal layer is made of wood and outer layer is made of aluminum . These windows producing from a combination of wood and aluminum , give beauty to your home .
Aluminum profile has extensive applications in different industries . The most important application of this product is in the construction industry and is also used in agricultural industries , engineering tools and machines in factories . For example , in metallurgy , aluminum is used in alloy molds to produce steel and galvanization . The cause of this broad application can be explored in the properties of the product that were previously mentioned . It is also used in the production of tin cans and packing industries .
One of the important uses of this is to build strong pressure power stations that are strong and low weight of aluminum profile is very effective in reducing the costs of the power transmission network so that its size and volume can be avoided compared to copper conductors .
In recent years , aluminum profiles form essential household appliances such as washing machines , air cooling devices etc. and are continuingly growing .
1. One of the significant features of aluminum profile is the variability of its shape and its high flexibility . Its resistance against corrosion can easily increase using a coating .
2. Aluminum is lighter than steel but it has higher resistance ; therefore it is more used than steel .
3. One of the most attractive properties of aluminum is its natural stainless state without using paint or anything else ; it means that if it face with air , its color does not change .
4. Due to the high variation , the metal has reduced the need for equipment . That is why it costs less than other metals .
5. It is very comfortable to install. On the other hand , parts and interconnections can easily complement each other .
6. It is seen as clean and neat because of the bright and white color of aluminum .
7. The use of aluminum profile can cause an exchange of temperature . And that's why it helps to optimize energy .
8. Another characteristic of aluminum is the use of it in both the field of construction and industry .
Different kinds of aluminum profile available in the market
The aluminum profile available in the market is offered in three forms : Industrial , Structural and individual ( doors and windows ) . Other two different types can be found in the market which is degree 1 and waste ( conversional ) .
- Industrial : The qualitative level of this type of profile is lower compared to others, but has a variety of features for industry use . It is used in canal cable system , thermal sink , air conditioning , cabinets and furniture . The ribbed aluminum profile is used to construct a variety of industrial devices and equipment , conveyor belt and factory production lines , work tables and cooling systems .
- Construction : It is a profile with low weight and high pitch deflection . Its uses is in solar panels and platforms .
- Individual : The specific point in this types is the cross – section that is used . The uses are in doors and windows and curtains wall .
Aluminum profiles could be extruded in direct and indirect methods , according to the used alloy . Aluminum profiles are widely used in architecture and construction . This profile is produced in different thicknesses and length of 3, 4, 6 mm . In comparison with other similar products , this profile has various features and is more cost - effective . To provide aluminum profile you need to specify location and types of use , then choose the appropriate alloy such as 6063 or so on .
