Aluminum: An Ingredient To The Concrete Industrial Revolution

Information may not be reliable

Extrusion is the process by which objects are created using a fixed cross-sectional profile from a specific material. The main advantages of this process are its ability to create very complex cross-sections and to work materials that are very brittle because the metal only encounters compressive and sheer stress. Aluminum is the third most abundant element found in the earth’s crust. Extrusion process is very essential to extrude the Aluminum because processed Aluminum is very useful in different categories. But Aluminum extrusions are not just found in cars. After its invention and realizing its advantages Aluminum extrusions have been applied to many places in the world. While the earliest extrusions are various pipes and wears but now a day’s Aluminum extrusions are used from housing to commercial use such as from sporting goods to high tech aerospace components. Aluminum made a major impact on the industrial sector. During world war there was a sudden need of aircrafts for which Aluminum has found its remarkable gateway to more industrial use. Because of the rapid development of the extrusion process, Aluminum gained importance in automotive, aerospace and military endeavours, into many other industries ranging from housing to consumer goods.

The physical characteristics of Aluminum which has helped it in being an important material for extrusions are:
•    Aluminum provides advantages as minimal weight metals are required in aerospace & high rise construction projects.
•    Since Aluminum is so much lighter it is inherently easier to handle and less expensive to ship.
•    The strength of the Aluminum can be changed during the extrusion process as Aluminum grows stronger as the temperature falls.
•    Aluminum has a presence of oxide layer on its surface. This layer of protection ensures Aluminum material will offer excellent corrosion resistance and is preventive to rusting.
•    Since Aluminum is not combustible it will not even burn at high temperatures which ensure it will not produce any toxic fumes.
•    The non-magnetic property of Aluminum is very important to use it.
•    Aluminum is also used for its reflective properties. This is why Aluminum is used to shield products from infrared radiation, light and radio waves.
•    The most profitable property of Aluminum extrusion is that it can be recycled and melted to obtain Aluminum.

The inherence of Aluminum in the industrial revolution of the world has made a lot of advancement. The requirement to meet automotive quality and capability requirements resides with some Aluminum extrusion manufacturers. They have a flexible approach to meet the new demands of the improving automotive technology. The industries carry a large inventory of open extrusion tooling used in different types of production of architectural systems with expert manufacturers and contractors guarantees its clients that: -
    Project management approach through a single assigned point of contact
    Extrusion design support
    Interactive and costumer centric website
    Longevity in key customer relationship

The manufacturers custom Aluminum extrusions in a variety of alloys and also offer a variety of finishes, coating, including paint and anodize. Also the Aluminum obtained can be attained in any type of finishes. These include mill finish, polished or brushed Aluminum, clear anodized Aluminum including 2 step electrolyte anodizing & painted Aluminum extrusion. They also provide fabricated Aluminum extrusion service on eligible enquiries.
