The newly extruded aluminum profile, because the aluminum surface is easily oxidized by oxygen in the air, affects the service life and aesthetics. Therefore, we need to perform surface treatment on the newly extruded industrial aluminum profile.

Commonly used surface treatment methods for industrial aluminum profiles include anodic oxidation and electrophoresis, but, in addition to these two, there are several surface treatments for industrial aluminum profiles, which are unified for everyone:

1. Electroplating-Electroplating is also a very common surface treatment method, not only aluminum profiles but also various other metals can be electroplated. Electroplating is to plate a metal protective layer on the metal surface. Sometimes it needs to be polished and then electroplated.

2. Sandblasting-the industrial aluminum profile sandblasting process can not only get a matte effect but also the fine emery on the metal surface can eliminate the extrusion lines on the surface of the industrial aluminum profile. This is a way to kill two birds with one stone. The thickness of sand determines the effect of sandblasting.

3. Brush-similar to the car pattern, the wire drawing process makes the surface of the industrial aluminum profile form a smooth straight line, which is very beautiful and atmospheric.

4. Car pattern-use a lathe to process a regular pattern on the surface of the aluminum profile. The difference from the rubbing pattern is that the car pattern is a ring pattern, and the rubbing pattern is a straight pattern.

5. Polishing-Polishing can remove burrs on the surface of industrial aluminum profiles, and make the surface bright, which can achieve a mirror effect.

Minimalist style advocated thrift, to avoid waste, back to nature. Deep slim profile can be expressed in minimalist style, minimalist design, minimalist configuration, advocates minimalism and restraint, in the modern sense of fashion mainly in line to show some simple and plain charm.

The home space is a combination of point, line, surface and body. “Dot” is the embellishment of home decorations, “line” is the active movement of the home space, “face” is each background section in the home, and “body” is the various components that make up the overall home, distinguished by doors and windows.

Advantages of deep slim aluminum profile

1. Simple but extraordinary

The seemingly simple frame actually requires more advanced craftsmanship and more sophisticated structural design. In order to ensure safety and reliability, the wall thickness of the profile is deliberately thickened, and the bending resistance and compression resistance are also excellent.

2. Unfettered

Minimalist style is not only to narrow the profile, but also to show the minimalist charm from every place.

3. Creating a texture of life

Deep slim aluminum frames make it simple, easily meet the needs of modern decoration, and create a unique texture space with fashionable taste.

When the heat dissipation is the same, its weight is only one tenth of the cast iron heat sink, one sixth of the steel radiator, and one third of the copper heat sink.

Aluminum heat sink can be used to achieve energy saving, a cost reduction effect. When the heat sink and the heat conduction from the center export the same temperature, 2.5 times higher than aluminum radiator heat sink amount of cast iron sink. And because of the beautiful appearance, the heating cover can be omitted, so that the heat loss can be reduced by 30%, the cost can be reduced to more than 10%, and the weight can be greatly reduced. Another advantage of using aluminum heat sink is that the price of aluminum is only one third of the price of copper.

Effect of corrosion resistant aluminum heat sink, longer life. A solid oxide film can be formed on the surface of aluminum alloy materials, which can be used for a long time in heating water with pH ≤ 9 or in automobile water tanks, while aluminum radiators with special surface treatment can be used in various materials with pH ≤ 12 for a long time.

Advantages of aluminum heat sink:

1. aluminum radiator that various surface treatments, many varieties, and no solder joints, decorative, aesthetic and durable.
2. It is safe to use and bears high pressure. Because the specific strength and specific stiffness of aluminum alloy are much higher than that of copper, cast iron and steel. Even in the case of a thin, also can withstand sufficient pressure, bending force, tensile and impact forces during handling, installation, use, will not damage phenomenon.
3. Aluminum alloy material has the characteristics of light weight, which is easy to install and transport.
4. Simple installation and convenient maintenance.

The commonly used aluminum alloy profiles in China are 6-series aluminum profiles, which 6063, 6061, and 6005 series are used the most in 6-series.

So what is the difference between these three grades of aluminum alloy? Now we have to conduct an in-depth study on it.

The 6-series aluminum alloy are all aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys, which have the characteristics of good forming performance, good corrosion resistance and high hardness.

Therefore, they are all suitable for making good use of profiles, but they each have different uses.

Different alloy composition content:

Among them,

The magnesium content of 6005 is 0.4%~0.6%, and the silicon content is 0.6%~0.9%.
The magnesium content of 6061 is 0.8% to 1.2% and a silicon content of 0.4% to 0.8%.

The magnesium content of 6063 is 0.45%~0.9%, and the silicon content is 0.2%~0.6%.

The content of other trace elements is different, so the content of the alloy will cause the difference in performance, strength, and scope of use.

The plastic properties of 6063 aluminum are better than 6061, so most of the extruded profiles use 6063 grades. However, the strength and processing properties of 6063 are not as good as 6061 aluminum. Compared with 6061 and 6063, 6005 aluminum has higher tensile strength and yield strength, and has better fracture toughness. For profiles requiring higher strength, 6005 brand will be used.

The surface gloss of 6063 and 6061 is better than that of 6005, and 6005 aluminum will be darker. Therefore, 6063 aluminum is more suitable as a decorative material

6061 and 6005 can be made into aluminum plates, but 6063 basically cannot be made into aluminum plates.

6063 aluminum alloy is a kind of aluminum alloy material with extremely strong comprehensive performance, which is widely used in the fields of I industry and construction. 6061 aluminum is mainly used in aerospace, marine equipment, molds, electronic products, corrosion-resistant structures and other fields. 6005 aluminum alloy is often used in structures that require high strength such as ladders and TV antennas.

In addition to the 6 series aluminum alloy profiles, the 7 series also have extruded profiles. The 7 series has higher strength than the 6 series, and the plasticity is not as good as the 6 series, so the production is more difficult and the price is more expensive. The 7 series aluminum profile is mainly used in the aerospace field, also called aviation aluminum profile. We often see so-called “aviation aluminum profiles” in our market, but they are actually 6 series aluminum profiles. Real aerospace aluminum profiles will not be used in the civil market.
