Aluminum Profile Uses

Aluminum extrusion is a process by which aluminum alloy material is forced through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile.

In the transportation industry where the strength-to-weight ratio is critical, aluminum profiles are ideal for engine blocks, transmission housings, panels, roof rails and chassis for cars, ships, trucks, rail and subway vehicles, as well as vehicles body and parts.

Aluminum conducts heat efficiently, so the metal is commonly found in automotive radiators and air conditioners, condenser tubes, nuclear reactors, pharmaceutical thawing units, and heating and cooling units for computers, audio/video systems, and electronic equipment.

One of the greatest properties of aluminum is its natural resistance to rust and corrosion without additional treatment. This is due to the presence of a thin, naturally occurring protective film of aluminum oxide on its surface.

Aluminum Profile tubing is used to hold coaxial cables and wires because it is non-magnetic. It is suitable for high voltage applications, and wherever magnetic fields play a role or where sensitive magnetic equipment is used.

In construction, Aluminum Profile components resist deformation caused by weather and building movement. They maintain strength and flexibility under load and bounce back from shock shocks.The use of aluminium profiles ranges from simple tubular structures to more complex lattice, matrix or balustrade systems. The construction industry is not the only industry benefiting from aluminium profiles. As an extruded product, aluminium profiles can be used in many products such as side rails, window frames, door sections, and even aluminium core parts.
