Aluminium has a lot of advantages due to its
versatile nature. It can be moulded and shaped very easily and hence is
suitable for a variety of uses. Aluminium profile manufacturing is slowly
becoming very popular due to the many advantages that it has to offer. A process
called aluminium extrusion is used to make complicated designs. Here are some
of the benefits of aluminium profiles.
Light weight:
Unlike some metals like steel, copper or brass,
aluminium is very light thus making it a better choice among aluminium profile manufacturers.
It becomes easy and much cheaper to transport as compared to other metals. Its
versatile nature provides benefits such as higher strength and easy
formability. Thus it is very useful in weight reduction and has become a
priority in areas such as transportation, vehicle panelling, kitchen fitting
and other applications that involve moving parts.
Does not corrode easily
Unlike many other metals, aluminium naturally
generates a protective layer on top of it making it resistant to corrosion.
This oxidised layer further protects the metal from corrosion. Painting or
anodising the surface can also help in improving the corrosion resistance of
the metal. This reduces the maintenance and also the cost of coating process
for the metal.
Excellent thermal and electrical
conductors
Many applications are switching to aluminium profile
manufacturing as they are known to conduct
heat and cold better than many other
commonly used metals. Although it is not as conductive as copper, it is half
the weight of copper while having the same electrical resistance as copper.
Thus it proves to be a cost effective alternative for various electrical
connectors. Since it is an excellent conductor of heat, it is also used in a
variety of applications such as Led lights, computer motherboards etc.
Aluminium profiles are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, construction, aviation and also other industries. It is a much favoured metal today due to its many advantages.
