Aluminum profile, which has a certain cross section - this cross section of the aluminum profile can be of flat surface or different shapes depending on the purpose - materials with a small cross section / height ratio - much larger than the width - are called profiles. As in other metals, rolling or extrusion method is applied in aluminum profile production. For complex shaped aluminum profiles, the most extrusion method is applied.
Usage areas of aluminum section produced by extrusion method:
- Machinery and equipment production
- Chemical and food industry
- Electric industry
- Transport vehicles
- Architectural
- Build
Profiles Produced for Architectural Area
Aluminum profiles used in world architecture are generally produced by extrusion method from 6XXX alloys. 6XXX aluminum profiles are coated with anodic oxidation in color or colorless to maintain their appearance and provide long-term durability. The most commonly used 6063, 6060 or AlMgSi1 / 0 alloys in the aluminum profile.
6XXX Series Aluminum section Features
Aluminum Mg and Si are included. All values in the alloy must be in certain proportions. 6XXX series Aluminum profile, with a Fe content of 0.20% or less, has a glossy surface when polished. If the amount of Fe is higher, the color of the aluminum profile becomes gray and loses its brightness. The way to obtain a matt surface profile is that the Fe value is 0.18% or higher. As the amount of Fe of the aluminum profile increases, it turns into a comfortable and beautiful matte color. When the aluminum profile Fe amount is above 0.30%, it is dull after anodizing and makes extrusion press difficult. The amount of Mg and Si is important in the artificial aging of the aluminum profile after the thermal treatment. The production speed decreases when the hardness increases in aluminum profile production. It is very important to produce aluminum alloys in appropriate quantities according to the purpose of use. The aluminum profile cannot be flawless because one of its features is beautiful, while the other requires sacrifice.
