What is the process flow of aluminum profile processing ?

January 02, 2025

Aluminum profile processing is a complex and delicate process that requires strict control of process parameters and equipment operations at each stage to ensure that the quality and performance of aluminum profiles meet the requirements.

The process flow of aluminum profile processing mainly includes the following steps:

Ingredients: Based on the specific alloy brand produced, calculate and determine the amount of various alloy components to be added, and reasonably match various raw materials.

Melting: The prepared raw materials are added to the melting furnace for melting, and impurities and gases in the melt are effectively removed through methods such as degassing, slag removal, and refining to ensure the purity of the aluminum liquid.

Casting: The melted aluminum liquid is cooled and cast into various specifications of circular casting rods through a deep well casting system under certain casting process conditions.

Mold design and production: Based on product requirements, mold design and production are carried out. The quality of the mold directly affects the shape, size, and surface quality of the aluminum profile.

Squeezing: Based on the cross-sectional design of the profile product, the heated round cast rod is extruded from the mold using an extruder. During the extrusion process, the mold applies pressure to the aluminum liquid, causing it to gradually solidify and form a stable shape.

Cooling treatment: The extruded aluminum profile has a high temperature and requires cooling treatment. By controlling the cooling rate, the mechanical properties of the aluminum profile can be further adjusted.

Straightening and straightening: Due to the possibility of bending or twisting of aluminum profiles during the extrusion process, straightening or straightening treatment is required to ensure their straightness and surface flatness.

Surface treatment: According to the requirements, surface treatment is carried out on aluminum profiles, such as spraying, oxidation, electroplating, etc., to enhance their corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and aesthetic appearance.

Quality inspection and packaging: During the aluminum profile processing, it is necessary to conduct quality inspections on each process to ensure the quality and stability of the final product.
