FAQ Aluminium Frames

Question: What advantages does using aluminum profiles offer?

Answer: 1. Lightweight: Aluminum profiles are lightweight and making them easy to transport.
2. Strong and durable: Aluminum profiles can withstand weather conditions and resist corrosion.
3. Easy to fabricate and assemble: Reduce complex methods for assembling and dismantling.
4. Non-magnetic: Aluminum profiles are useful in high-voltage applications and in electronics.
5. Variety of standard sizes and shapes: Reduce machining process

Question: What factors should I consider when selecting aluminum profiles?

Answer: When building a machine structure, it's important to consider for example
1. Application and environment: Consider both the purpose and the environment it will be used in. For example, a structure the machine for electronic industries,
2. Profile shape and dimensions: Aluminum profiles come in many shapes and sizes, each with a various number of slots that can impact the ease of assembly and strength of the structure
3. Material: The material used for the profiles is also important such as 6061 and 6063 is suitable for structure of machine
4. Surface treatment: It is not just for aesthetics; it can also enhance corrosion resistance and provide advantages for mounting additional equipment. Rough surfaces are better for applications where grip or adhesion is required.
5. Price: It is an additional factor to consider, but it's important to remember that a cheaper manufacturer may not be as effective in the long term. otherwise, a higher-priced option can ultimately result in lower maintenance costs and a more durable structure.

Question: Can aluminum profiles get rust?

Answer: No, the rusting reaction cannot occur in aluminum profiles because they do not contain iron, which is one of the three factors required for the oxidation reaction that causes the formation of iron rust. The rusting reaction involves the presence of water, moisture, and iron element, which react to form an oxide compound or rust. Since aluminum is a non-metallic element, it does not participate in this reaction, leading to an incomplete rusting process.

Question: What advantages does aluminum have over steel?

Answer: 1. Weight: Aluminum is much lighter than steel. Its density is about one-third that of steel. This makes aluminum a popular choice for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as in the aerospace industry. the automotive industry, etc.
2. Corrosion resistance: Aluminum is inherently resistant to corrosion. Since it is a non-metal element, it does not contain metal, so it does not rust. making it a popular choice for outdoor use
3. Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity, which makes it a popular choice. For designing equipment parts such as heat exchangers. in air conditioners, etc.
4. Appearance : : Aluminum has a clean, modern look and is available in a wide range of colors and finishes. No additional painting is required like steel.

Question: Which blade is recommended for cutting aluminum profiles effectively?

Answer: When cutting aluminum profiles, it is important to use a blade that is specifically designed for cutting non-ferrous metals, so the most effective blade for cutting aluminum profiles is a carbide-tipped saw blade with a high tooth count. A blade with at least 80 teeth is recommended, as this will help prevent the aluminum from "gumming up" the blade and causing it to bind or overheat during cutting
