What Are The Uses of Aluminum Profiles

Aluminum profiles can be 1024, 2011, 6063, 6061, 6082, 7075 and other alloy grades, among which 6 series is the most common. The difference between different grades is that the ratio of various metal components is different. Specific applications are as follows:

1. Aluminum profile 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.

2. Aluminum profiles for construction

Because aluminum is light in weight, it is 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.

3. 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.

4. Aluminum profiles for transportation

With the rapid development of the transportation industry, people's requirements for transportation are becoming more and more stringent. Aluminum is mainly used in the body manufacturing of rail vehicles, floor, connectors, cold air doors and frames of refrigerated containers.

5. Medical equipment aluminum profiles

It is mainly used in stretcher frames, medical equipment, nursing beds, wheelchairs, medical accompanying chairs, etc.

6. Marine aluminum extrusion

The design of shipbuilding follows the concept of light structure. Light ship structure has great advantages in controlling ship speed, operating precision and production cost. Therefore, marine grade aluminum tubing and sheets are an ideal material for building ships and marine engineering structures. Ships made of aluminum alloy have advantages such as high speed, long service life and high load capacity.

Features of marine aluminum extrusion

1. Aluminum alloy has low density and light weight. Aluminum has a low density, only one-third of steel, and is lighter than other materials.

2. Corrosion resistance. A dense aluminum oxide film is naturally formed on the surface of aluminum alloy, which is not easy to rust and corrode, has a long service life, and can reduce maintenance.

3. Good processability. Aluminum alloy has good forming performance, and is easy to carry out various forms of processing such as cutting, stamping, cold bending, forming and cutting, which is suitable for the streamlining of the hull.

4. Aluminum extrusion like 6082 aluminum alloy does not burn, has good low-temperature processability, and is highly safe. 6082 aluminum plate is also used for shipbuilding.
