custom aluminum extrusions

Aluminum alloy can be said to be a new material in the 20th century, and it will be more widely used in the 21st century. The most widely used aluminum alloy should be aluminum alloy profiles. Now aluminum profiles have replaced many materials in many ways. For example, aluminum alloy profiles are used in fences, aluminum alloy trays, maintenance platforms, aluminum alloy hangers and even all-aluminum furniture, and most of these aluminum profiles are customized.

So which materials can be replaced with custom aluminum profiles?

1. Customized aluminum profiles can replace wood materials. For example, for all-aluminum furniture, aluminum profiles can be treated with wood grain transfer surface treatment, which is no different from wood from the outside.
2. Customized aluminum profile products can replace steel. Because aluminum profiles are light in weight, corrosion-resistant and brighter in color, many exterior parts use aluminum profiles instead of steel. Aluminum profiles also have an important advantage. Custom aluminum profiles can be designed according to their needs, unlike steel with a single shape, either a tube or a bar.
3. Aluminum profiles can replace plastics. Although plastic parts can also be extruded and the cross-section can be arbitrarily designed, the price of molds for plastic parts is very expensive. Custom aluminum profiles are more expensive than custom plastic materials when the amount is not large. cost-effective. Moreover, the strength of plastic parts is not as good as that of aluminum profiles, and the service life is greatly reduced, and plastic parts may contain harmful substances, which are used with caution in the food industry. Therefore, in the long run, it is still cost-effective to customize aluminum profiles.
4. Aluminum profiles can replace iron. Iron is easy to rust and is relatively heavy. Iron parts are generally galvanized or nickel-plated to prevent corrosion, while iron frame products are generally painted to protect iron that is easily oxidized. . The frame made of custom aluminum profiles does not require these complicated processes, and the substrate is not easily oxidized. The aluminum profiles after anodization are more corrosion-resistant, and do not need to be coated with other metals.
