What Are Uses of Aluminum Profiles
Industrial aluminum profiles are widely used, mainly in shipbuilding, aerospace, construction, radiators, transportation, machinery and equipment processing, medical equipment and daily necessities. The specific applications are as follows:
1. Marine aluminum extrusions
Since aluminum has low density, high strength and corrosion resistance, and low processing cost, the use of aluminum alloy profiles in shipbuilding can increase speed and extend service life. The marine aluminum extrusions are widely used in speedboats, sailboats, passenger ships and military boats. Especially in the application of aircraft carriers, due to the unique low density and high strength characteristics of aluminum profiles, it plays a vital role in improving the tactical and technical characteristics of aircraft carriers. Marine grade 6061 and 6082 are often used for this purpose.
2. Aluminum profiles for aerospace
There are mainly three types of profiles: high-strength, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. The profiles used in different parts of the aircraft are also different. For example, parts such as fuselage parts, control systems, engine compartments, and seats require high-strength aluminum profiles with high hardness and strength; while the cabins and air exchange systems near the motors are continuously heated, so heat-resistant profiles must be used; the wall panels, beams, girders, propellers, etc. on the aircraft wings need to be made of corrosion-resistant aluminum profiles; the forging rings of rockets and the wall panels of spacecraft have higher requirements, and they need to be made of profiles with good corrosion resistance and ultra-high strength.
3. Aluminum profiles for construction
Aluminum is light in weight and easy to transport in construction, which can reduce the workload of installation and speed up the progress of construction. It has beautiful color, good corrosion resistance, high reflectivity to light and heat, good sound absorption performance, and can easily obtain different colors through chemical reactions. Therefore, it is widely used in industrial and civil buildings, such as roofs, walls, ceilings, doors and windows, railings, indoor furniture and shopping mall containers.
4. Radiator aluminum profile
It has the characteristics of light weight, good heat dissipation effect, good energy saving effect, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and beautiful appearance. It is mainly used for heat dissipation of wind power generation, machinery, automobiles, air compressors and various power electronic equipment, LED lighting fixtures, computer digital products, and is also widely used in communication transmission and new energy fields.
5. Aluminum profiles for transportation
With the rapid development of the transportation industry, people's requirements for transportation materials are becoming more and more stringent. Aluminum accounts for 30% of the consumption in the transportation industry. It is mainly due to its light weight, good formability, high strength, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in the body manufacturing of rail vehicles (such as subways, elevated railways, intercity railways) and other rail vehicles; it is also used in the floor, connectors, cold air doors and frames of refrigerated containers.
6. Mechanical equipment processing
It is used for industrial production and manufacturing, such as automated mechanical equipment, and customized molds by companies according to their own equipment requirements, such as assembly lines, elevators, dispensing machines, testing equipment, shelves, fences, workbenches, etc.
