Aluminum profile is a metal product made of aluminum and other metal elements. It is an application product form of aluminum alloy. The production process of aluminum profile is usually to first process aluminum metal into castings, forgings and aluminum foil. , aluminum plates, aluminum strips, aluminum tubes, and aluminum rods, and then go through processes such as cold bending, sawing, drilling, assembling, and coloring to make aluminum profiles and other aluminum accessories.
1. Composition of aluminum profiles
The main metal element of aluminum profiles is aluminum. During the smelting process, alloy elements such as copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, and magnesium are added to improve the performance of the aluminum materials. The production process of aluminum profiles mainly includes three processes: casting, extrusion and coloring. Aluminum profiles are the most widely used non-ferrous metal structural materials in industry. With the rapid development of science, technology and industrial economy in recent years, the demand for aluminum alloy welded structural parts is increasing.
2. Application of aluminum profiles
1. Aluminum profiles for doors and windows used in construction [(divided into two types: doors, windows and curtain walls)
2. Special radiator aluminum profiles for CPU radiators of computers and electronic products
3. Aluminum profile shelves, aluminum profile panels, masks
4. Industrial aluminum profiles: mainly used for automated machinery and equipment, the skeleton of enclosures, and various companies to customize mold openings according to their own mechanical equipment requirements, such as assembly line conveyor belts, elevators, dispensing machines, testing equipment, etc., in the electronic machinery industry Mostly used in clean rooms!
3. Recycling methods of waste aluminum profiles
The market recycling price of scrap aluminum profiles is relatively high. The current price of scrap aluminum profiles per ton is 13,000-16,000 yuan. In 2021, the price of scrap aluminum profiles will continue to rise. The market prospects are broad and the investment market is good. The specific aluminum profile crushing process includes:
a. Shred the aluminum profiles
Use metal crusher to directly crush aluminum profiles
Aluminum profiles are usually lighter and more corrosion-resistant than ordinary carbon steel, but their corrosion resistance is not as good as that of pure aluminum. A protective oxide layer will form on the surface of aluminum alloys in a clean, dry environment. Aluminum profiles are the most widely used non-ferrous metal structural materials in industry and have been widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding and chemical industries.
