Many people cannot distinguish between the processes and applications of extruded aluminum profiles and die-cast aluminum. Let's look at the differences between these two approaches. Extruded aluminium profiles are extruded by an extruder by heating a circular aluminium rod to its critical point. Die cast aluminum is made of aluminum ingots and alloy materials that are melted in a furnace and formed in a die casting machine. The shape of die-cast aluminum products can be designed to be the same shape as the toy, with different shapes for easy connection in all directions. In addition, it has high hardness and strength, and can be mixed with zinc to form zinc-aluminum alloy. Below, Zhejiang Mingyuan Machinery and Equipment Co., Ltd. will explain the differences between the two aluminum processes in detail.
Extruded aluminium profile
The production process of extruded aluminum profile is the post-forming process of high temperature extrusion of aluminum rod by extruder. The extruder can be equipped with a variety of molds to complete different sections of aluminum.
The advantages of aluminum profiles
Less processing: aluminium alloys can be extruded into any complex part. As a result, extruded aluminum profiles can also be easily assembled as long as they are properly designed, thus reducing the need for processing. Some shapes can only be obtained by extrusion, not by other processes.
Aluminum extrusion mold cost is low: casting. Aluminum extrusion die costs are lower compared to other competitive materials such as forging.
High structural efficiency: aluminum extruded profiles can achieve large structural efficiency. Name profiles can be used where strength is required and aluminum profiles can be removed where they are not.
Light weight: Extruded aluminum profiles are light weight and durable. Aluminum structures are about half the weight of other metal structures, which are not easy to work with, because of the difference in properties between aluminum and competing materials.
Multiple finish methods: Corrosion resistance: Powder or electrophoretic coating, the designer can achieve any color he wants. Of course, it also includes natural silver or color anodized coating.
Low maintenance: Aluminum is a naturally durable metal and the above finishes enhance its durability.
