What process is used to extrude aluminum profiles ?

January 02, 2025

Aluminum profiles are materials made by casting aluminum and a few metals such as magnesium into a certain shape through a certain process, in order to facilitate naming, use, and sales.

Aluminum profiles have many significant characteristics, including excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, non ferromagnetism, and good machinability and formability.

In addition, aluminum profiles do not spontaneously ignite, which is crucial for applications involving loading, unloading, or contact with flammable and explosive materials.

In the processing and manufacturing process of aluminum profiles, smelting is the first process, including seasoning, smelting, and forging, followed by extrusion process. The heated round cast rod is extruded into shape through a mold, and finally, coloring process is used to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and surface aesthetics of aluminum profiles through methods such as anodizing.

The application fields of aluminum profiles are very wide, including but not limited to the following aspects:

In the field of architecture, aluminum profiles play an important role, especially in the manufacturing of doors, windows, and curtain walls. There are various series of aluminum alloy door and window profiles, such as the 60, 70, 90 series, etc. They are not only beautiful and durable, but also have good thermal and sound insulation performance.

Heat sink manufacturing: Aluminum profiles are widely used in the manufacturing of heat dissipation components for various power electronic devices, LED lighting, and computer digital products due to their excellent thermal conductivity.

Industrial production and manufacturing: Aluminum profiles are widely used in automation machinery equipment, shell skeletons, assembly line conveyors, elevators, distributors, and inspection equipment. Its excellent mechanical and processing properties make it an important material in the industrial field.

Automobile manufacturing: Aluminum profiles are also widely used in automobile manufacturing, such as automotive parts, connectors, etc. The lightweight and high-strength characteristics of aluminum alloys help reduce the weight of automobiles and improve fuel efficiency.

The solar energy industry: solar aluminum frames, solar photovoltaic brackets, solar photovoltaic brick fasteners and other solar photovoltaic profiles provide strong support for the development of the solar energy industry.
