Extruded aluminum profiles

2024,12,04

Squeezing aluminum profiles is a common metal processing method, which involves heating the aluminum material to a certain temperature and using pressure to extrude it into profiles of different shapes.

This processing method has the advantages of high efficiency, economy, and environmental protection, and is therefore widely used in industries such as construction, transportation, electronics, and furniture.

The following will introduce the principle, advantages, and application fields of extruded aluminum profiles.

1、 The principle of extruding aluminum profiles

The principle of extruding aluminum profiles is to utilize the plasticity of the metal material, apply pressure after heating, and through the action of the mold, make the metal material pass through a certain shaped hole to obtain the desired profile.

The principle of extruding aluminum profiles can be simply summarized as: thermal expansion and contraction, and metal rheology.

Thermal expansion and contraction refer to the expansion of metal materials due to temperature increase during heating, and contraction during cooling.

By utilizing this principle, the expansion and contraction of metal materials can be controlled by adjusting the shape and size of the mold, thereby obtaining the desired profile.

Metal rheology refers to the change in the internal structure of a metal material after heating, which gives it good plasticity and deformability.

During the extrusion process, the metal material is subjected to pressure and flows into the desired shape hole under the guidance of the mold, forming a profile.

2、 Squeezing aluminum profiles

The main steps of extruding aluminum profiles include profile design, mold manufacturing, extrusion processing, and subsequent processing.

Profile design is the step of extruding aluminum profiles, which requires determining parameters such as cross-sectional shape, size, and wall thickness based on usage requirements and stress analysis.

Well designed profiles can improve the performance and service life of products.

Mold manufacturing is the process of extruding aluminum profiles, which requires the production of molds with certain shapes and sizes according to the design requirements of the profiles.

The manufacturing of molds needs to consider factors such as material selection, heat treatment, and processing, in order to ensure the accuracy and service life of the molds.

Extrusion processing is the process of placing heated metal materials into an extruder and extruding them into the desired profiles by applying pressure.

During the extrusion process, it is necessary to adjust parameters such as heating temperature, extrusion speed, and pressure according to the properties of the metal material and the requirements of the profile.

The subsequent processing is a step in extruding aluminum profiles, which mainly includes cooling, trimming, cutting, and surface treatment.

Cooling is the process of placing the extruded profile in a suitable environment to rapidly cool it down and maintain its dimensional stability.

Trimming is the process of trimming and shaping profiles to remove surface burrs and unevenness.

Cutting is the process of cutting profiles to the required length.
