Introduction of Hoonly Aluminum Profiles' Surface Treatment and Characteristics


Aluminium profiles are aluminium materials with different cross-section shapes through hot melt and extrusion. The production process of aluminium profiles mainly consists of three processes: melting, extrusion and colouring (including oxidation, electrophoretic coating, fluorine spraying, powder spraying, etc.).
The aluminium profiles are divided into:
1. Industrial aluminium profile: mainly used for aeroplanes, trains, industrial radiators, automobiles, electrical appliances, etc.
2. Aluminum alloy profile for building: mainly used for building doors and Windows, curtain walls, indoor and outdoor decoration and architectural structure.
Surface treatments are divided into:
1. Anodized aluminium: the surface of the profile is oxidized by anodic oxidation, electrolytic colouring or organic colouring.
2. Electrophoresis coating aluminium: the surface of the profile is combined with anodic oxidation and electrophoresis.
3. Powder spraying aluminium: the surface of the profile is coated with thermosetting organic polymer powder.
4. Fluorocarbon paint spraying aluminum: the profile surface is coated with polyvinylidene fluoride paint.At present, the commonly used heat insulation profile is a kind of aluminum profile which adopts a strip or pouring compound.
Key Indicators
1. Appearance quality: the surface of anodized profile does not allow for the defects such as electric burn and peeling of oxide film;Electrophoresis, powder, fluorine carbon profile after the paint film should be uniform, clean, smooth, there is no wrinkle, crack, bubble, flow mark, inclusion and peeling paint film effects such as the use of defects, but within the scope of the profile end 80 mm allows local without membrane. The appearance quality of the aluminum alloy building profile affects the architectural decoration effect, so the surface of the factory profile must be coated to avoid surface scratch, collision and corrosion in the process of transportation and stacking. In the market, some aluminum alloy profiles have similar patterns of water striation and mildew, which reflect the defects of the production process.
2. Wall thickness: the wall thickness of the profile is one of the main factors affecting the strength of the workpiece. The main profile is the stressed part of the project.For example, the minimum nominal wall thickness of the outer window main profile shall not be less than 1.4mm.
3. Film thickness: extruded aluminium alloy profiles, whose surface corrosion resistance is not strong, the surface treatment should be carried out to increase the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and appearance aesthetics of aluminum.The film thickness of anodized aluminum material is divided into AA10, AA15, AA20, AA25, and the thickness of the electrophoretic coating aluminum film is divided into A.B.S, powder spraying aluminum decorative coating on the surface of the minimum local thickness of 40 or higher um, fluorocarbon spraying aluminum decorative paint on the surface of the layer thickness for coating of different kinds have different requirements, the second with the average film thickness acuity 30 40 um um, three with the average film thickness acuity, 4 with an average of 65 um film thickness acuity.
4. Chemical composition and mechanical properties: the technical parameters of chemical composition and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy profiles are different, and the customer should check them one by one according to the standard (contract).
5. Color difference: there are differences in colour brands and supply states. It is suggested that the influence of color difference on architectural structure should be taken into consideration when the alloy plate number and supply status are selected.
6. Anti-salt spray corrosion, abrasion, waiting and mortar, etc.: this is an important technical parameter of aluminum alloy profile, which reflects the properties of aluminum alloy profiles and influences the use.
Characteristics and properties of various aluminum profile surface treatment processes:
Frosted fabric profile: frosted surface aluminum avoids the polished aluminum alloy profiles in architectural decoration exists in certain environment, conditions will form the interference of light, it's like brocade and soft surface, is very popular with the market, but the existing grinding material must overcome sand uneven surface, and can see the shortage of the die lines.
More tonal and surface treatment of aluminum: currently, the monotony of silvery white and tan already cannot satisfy architects tile, exterior wall latex with exterior wall decoration is very good, a new type of stainless steel color, champagne color series, gold, titanium gold, red, wine red, purplish red, black, purple) combined with such as colored glass can make adornment effect is the icing on the cake.These profiles must be chemically or mechanically polished and then oxidized to produce a good effect.
Electrophoretic coating aluminum profile: the surface gloss of electrophoretic coating is soft, it can resist the penetration of cement and slurry acid rain, 90% of the aluminium profiles in Japan are electrophoretic paint.
Powder electrostatic spraying aluminum profile: powder electrostatic spraying profile is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance and acid and alkali salt fog.
Plasma-enhanced electrochemical surface ceramic profile: this kind of profile is the most advanced processing technology in the world.The products are of good quality but high cost.It has more than 20 kinds of tonal, its biggest characteristic is can according to need to be like a printing cloth to be lubricious, the surface of shape material is profusion, adornment effect is very good.

4 Advantages of T-slotted Aluminium Extrusion Frame

Whether you are assembling a large production line, installing automation equipment, or setting up a workbench for a production line, you may need a metal framework to install robotic parts, dispensers, or other automated assembly equipment. Many factory owners choose traditional welded steel structures to enhance their strength and durability. However, aluminum extrusion frames are becoming increasingly popular for several reasons. Hoonly Aluminium Extrusion Framework is a modular solution that consists of  Aluminium extrusion profiles  with a unique T-slot design, and series of  specialized connectors & fasteners , which allows designer or purchaser to adjust the structure frame according to their own needs. Because the framework is aluminum, it often has a higher price tag than steel (actually less than stainless steel). But don't you found that aluminum extrusion frames offer distinct advantages over other material frames (such as wood, stainless steel) systems? 1,

Application of High Strength Aluminum in Automotive Industry

The huge growing world car ownership is great influencing people's work and life, but resulting a series of problems such as energy shortage, environmental pollution is also increasingly prominent. Light-weight, energy saving, environmental protection, safety, comfort and low cost become the target of each car manufacturer, especially in energy saving and environmental protection, which is the major problem for the sustainable development of the human relationship, energy conservation, and emissions reduction has become an urgent problem in the automotive industry. Light-weight of the automobile,  which means on the premise of guarantee vehicle performance is not affected, auto-manufacturers should be targeted to reduce automobile weight, to ensure the safety and comfort, and meanwhile should not improve the cost. From the life cycle of the automobile products, a fuel consumption cost is the main part of the vehicle life cycle cost, which occupies 71% of the cycle costs. A

Overview of Chemical Polishing Aluminium, Electra-chemical Polishing Aluminium and Mechanical Polishing

The general engineering application of wrought aluminium alloy material or building aluminium profile is the process of the semi-finished product. Aluminium extrusion profile manufacturers are generally able to directly put the profiles into anodize production line for anodizing. The obtained anodized film has the good protective properties in many engineering applications, which basically achieves uniform appearance requirements. However, if mechanically polished aluminium work-piece is directly anodized, only the smooth anodize oxide film could be obtained, but fails to get the coating film of high reflective. Chemical polishing and electro-chemical polishing can give aluminium profile a very shiny surface, but in terms of polishing, chemical polishing (or electro-chemical polishing) are fundamentally different from mechanical polishing: Chemical polishing and electrochemical polishing, as an advanced finishing method, can remove slight mold marks and scratches on the surface
