What are the advantages of aluminum profile frames compared to other metal frames

January 7,2020.
Nowadays, in many industrial automation production industries, aluminum profiles are often used to build frames.This is mainly because aluminum profiles have anti-corrosion, non-ferromagnetic, machinability, formability. , High electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity and so on. Compared with other metal frames, what are the advantages of aluminum profile frames?
Why are frameworks made of aluminum (Al)? The aluminum profiles have been treated with oxidation when they are shipped from the factory, and no surface treatment is required during post-processing. If a steel structure is used, it must be polished and polished before welding and then shipped to a professional paint factory for pre-painting procedures, including: oil removal, water washing, rust removal, neutralization, water washing, phosphating, drying, procedures, etc. It takes time, especially the state has stricter environmental protection requirements. After the small processing plant was closed, the impact on the metal baking paint industry was very large.
So now almost all industrial automation and non-standard mechanical equipment are made of aluminum (Al) alloy profile as the main frame, which is stable.  Easy to install, it can be assembled easily with a few right-angle pieces, and there are grooves on the cross section of the aluminum profile, which can be used to cover various plates, such as 8mm double-sided density board, aluminum-plastic board, sheet metal, acrylic board, PC board, polyvinyl chloride, etc., these cannot be done in the design of steel structure (engineering structure). Door and window aluminum profiles Door and window materials, materials connected to the wall. Its main feature is that the surface where it meets the wall is mostly flat, fixed on the wall and cannot be moved. Frame and fan structure window made of aluminum alloy building aluminum profile. Doors and windows are generally named "model + function form", such as: 60 series of interior windows with inverted windows. Door and window series are generally named after the width of the aluminum profile frame. Aluminum profile manufacturers After the surface of the aluminum profile is oxidized, it has a very beautiful appearance and is resistant to dirt. Once coated with oil, it is very easy to clean. When assembling the product, different profiles are used according to different loads, and matching aluminum profile accessories are used. Welding is more environmentally friendly, and it is easy to carry and move because it is light and easy to install and disassemble. Aluminum profiles have strong flexibility, specifications and variety, which can meet the needs of any mechanical equipment production.
For those products with very high precision requirements, steel cannot replace the role of aluminum profiles. The straightness of aluminum profiles has very strict requirements during extrusion. Steel is relatively rough during extrusion, especially on the conveyor line. After the bench is welded with steel, it can no longer be moved during the commissioning stage, especially for straightness requirements of precision mechanical mobile phone stands. If the straightness is not sufficient, it will directly affect the performance of the robot.
When building large-scale production lines, it often costs millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Therefore, there are certain requirements for the service life of the equipment. Steel is easily rusted in an environment containing corrosive gases, and aluminum is used. (Al) profiles need not worry about such phenomena at all.
It can be seen that aluminum profiles make up for the deficiencies of other metal materials in many ways, and also have performance advantages that other metals do not have. Not only can it increase the service life of the product, but it can also show its unique advantages. This is why aluminum profiles The main reason for popularity. Machinability of aluminum profiles is excellent. In various deformed aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys, and in the various states that these alloys have after production, the machining characteristics vary considerably, which requires special machine tools or techniques.
