Effects on mechanical properties

intensity

Structural stability: The strength of the industrial aluminum profile is directly related to the stability of the industrial frame and equipment bracket constructed with it. If the strength is insufficient, the structure may be deformed and collapse when subjected to heavy loads or external force. For example, in the conveying equipment bracket of the automated production line, if the strength of the aluminum profile is not enough, when the heavy material is transported, the bracket will bend, affecting the normal operation of the conveying equipment.

Load capacity: Sufficient strength ensures that industrial aluminum profiles can carry the expected weight. High-strength aluminum profiles can be used to manufacture crane boom, forklift fork and other parts that need to withstand large loads, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of industrial equipment in the working process.

hardness

Wear resistance: Industrial aluminum profiles with higher hardness are less prone to wear when they rub with other objects. This is important for some industrial equipment that requires frequent movement or has sliding parts. For example, in the linear guide rail made of industrial aluminum profiles, the higher hardness can reduce the wear between the guide rail and the slider, extend the use of equipment, and maintain costs.

Resistance to deformation: When subjected to local pressure or impact force, aluminum profiles with appropriate hardness can resist deformation. For example, in the guardrail of machining equipment, aluminum profiles with sufficient hardness can prevent dents or damage caused by accidental collisions and maintain the integrity of the guardrail.

toughness

Impact resistance: When the industrial aluminum profile with good toughness is subjected to sudden external impact, it can absorb energy without brittle fracture. This is important in some industrial environments with dynamic loads, such as in the material handling process, when the hopper made of aluminum profiles is impacted by the material, good toughness can avoid the fracture of the profiles and ensure the normal use of the equipment.

Fatigue: In the case of repeated forces for a long time, such as in vibration equipment, aluminum profiles with good toughness can withstand more stress cycles without fatigue cracks. This helps to improve the use of industrial equipment and reduce equipment failures due to material fatigue.

The effect of chemical properties

Corrosion resistance

Use: In industrial places with corrosive environments, such as chemical industry, electroplating, Marine engineering and other fields, the corrosion resistance of industrial aluminum profiles determines their service life. Aluminum profiles with good corrosion resistance can be used in harsh chemical environments for a long time without losing their performance because of corrosion. For example, in wind power generation equipment by the sea, aluminum profiles resistant to seawater corrosion can ensure that the structural parts of the equipment can work normally for many years in a high salt spray environment.

Product stability: If the corrosion resistance of aluminum profiles is poor, it may lead to a decline in structural strength after corrosion, resulting in accidents. For example, in the support of a chemical pipeline, if the aluminum profile is corroded by corrosive chemicals leaking from the pipeline, the strength of the support may lead to the collapse of the pipeline, causing serious consequences such as chemical leakage.

Appearance maintenance: In high temperature or in an industrial environment with oxidation conditions, good aluminum profiles can maintain their surface luster and color, and will not be discolored or oxidized because of oxidation. This is important for some industrial equipment that has requirements for appearance, such as display equipment and high-end electronic product shells.

Stable performance: Oxidation will lead to changes in the surface properties of aluminum profiles, such as electrical conductivity and increased surface roughness. Good can ensure that the aluminum profile in the long-term use of stable performance, such as in the production of electronic equipment heat sink, aluminum profile can ensure that the heat dissipation efficiency and electrical performance of the heat sink is not affected.

The effect on processing performance

machinability

Forming difficulty: The quality of industrial aluminum profiles affects the difficulty of forming and processing. Good quality aluminum profiles are easier to process in extrusion, bending, drilling and so on. For example, when a uniform aluminum profile is extruded into a complex shape, it can better fill the mold cavity, reduce defects, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

Processing accuracy: its quality is also related to processing accuracy. The dimensional accuracy of high-quality aluminum profiles is easier to control during processing, which is conducive to the production of industrial products that meet the requirements of high precision. For example, in the processing of parts in the aerospace field, the processing accuracy of aluminum profiles is extremely high, and good quality aluminum profiles can better meet these requirements.

weldability

Welding quality: The welding performance of industrial aluminum profiles affects the quality of welded structures. Good welding performance can ensure that the aluminum profile has sufficient strength and sealing after welding. For example, when manufacturing large industrial containers, aluminum profiles need to be welded together, and good welding performance profiles can make the welding strong and prevent leakage of the container.
