Why are aluminum profiles used more and more widely now

Now aluminum alloy products are used more and more widely, many people almost do not know why this is caused. Today, the small edition of aluminum alloy processing will answer your questions and solve your doubts. In fact, the reason why aluminum alloy products can be so popular is inseparable from its excellent performance.

The density of pure aluminum ingot is small, about 1/3 of iron, low melting point, aluminum is face-centered cubic structure, so it has a high plastic aluminum alloy profile, easy to process, can be made into a variety of profiles, plates, good corrosion resistance; However, the strength of pure aluminum is very low, so it is not suitable for structural materials.

Through long-term production practice and scientific experiments, people gradually add alloying elements and use heat treatment and other methods to strengthen aluminum, which gets a series of aluminum alloys. The alloy formed by adding corresponding elements can also have high strength while maintaining the advantages of pure aluminum light, so that its "specific strength" is better than many alloy steel, becoming an ideal structural material, widely used in machinery manufacturing, transportation machinery, power machinery and aviation industry, aircraft fuselage, skin, compressor, etc., often made of aluminum alloy to reduce weight. The welding of aluminum alloy instead of steel plate can reduce the weight of the structure by more than 50%.

Now do you know why? Because of various advantages, aluminum alloy profiles are now gradually replacing steel and other materials. Of course, Xiaobian knows that the price and cost of aluminum alloy profiles relative to steel and other materials will be more expensive, but from a different point of view, aluminum alloy profiles have corrosion resistance that steel does not have, and the service life is long, and steel assembly requires welding, and later maintenance is not easy, on the other hand, aluminum alloy profiles, its organization is connected using aluminum profile accessories, no need to weld.

Not only that, the maintenance and maintenance of aluminum alloy products are also very convenient, even if the product is replaced twice to be eliminated, it can also be recycled by recycling aluminum waste, and then secondary use, so that not only saves time and effort, which is the real existence of its value.
