What are the process flow of aluminum profile processing
Time : 2023-06-21

Aluminum and aluminum alloy profiles are widely used in construction, transportation, electronics, aerospace and other sectors. In recent years, due to the miniaturization and light weight requirements of automotive air-conditioning equipment, the proportion of aluminum extrusion products such as heat exchanger tubes and hollow profiles has increased rapidly.


Aluminum profiles have good ductility and plasticity, and are widely used in various fields. So what are the aluminum profile processing processes? Generally speaking, the common processes of aluminum profile processing are ingot casting, extrusion, heat treatment and surface treatment.

Aluminum profile extrusion is a processing method that puts aluminum alloy in the extrusion cylinder and applies a certain pressure to make it flow out of a specific die hole to obtain the required cross-sectional shape and size. The method has low cost, high efficiency and simple operation, and occupies a considerable proportion in the modern industrial production system.


Heat treatment: Through different quenching and aging systems, the aluminum profile can get the proper mechanical properties.


Surface treatment: Surface treatment can enhance the appearance of the profile and prolong the service life of the aluminum profile. The surface treatment of the aluminum profile can also be colored, which can be obtained by natural oxidation coloring, electrolytic coloring and dipping coloring.
