What are the selection criteria for industrial aluminum profiles?

Common aluminum profiles include building profiles, decorative profiles, and industrial aluminum profiles. Each category of aluminum profiles includes multiple specifications and models. The 6063-T5 series of aluminum profiles are most commonly used in industry. For users, how to choose the appropriate model to use is a very important issue. The following aspects can serve as reference for the selection of industrial aluminum profiles.
01 Strength
Strength is an important indicator to measure the load-bearing capacity of industrial aluminum profiles. It refers to the maximum deformation capacity of industrial aluminum profiles that breaks or exceeds the allowable limit after bearing a load. From a mechanical perspective, including tensile strength, compressive strength, and yield strength, it is a basic requirement that every aluminum profile must meet.
Customers can provide the required industrial aluminum profile model based on their product needs and corresponding bearing capacity. The manufacturer calculates the deformation of the industrial aluminum profile under static load and no load conditions based on the calculation formula of aluminum profile deformation, including the maximum allowable bending stress of the industrial aluminum profile. The deformation is an important basis for selection, and according to the range of deformation values, To determine whether the industrial aluminum profile of this model can meet the customer's required load-bearing capacity. If it cannot, it is necessary to choose a profile with a higher load-bearing capacity. Industrial aluminum profiles or increase load-bearing capacity by changing the frame structure. The unit mass and moment of inertia of different models of industrial aluminum profiles are different, so there are differences in load-bearing capacity. You can also follow the advice of designers and comprehensively consider mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness to help customers choose the length and model of industrial aluminum profiles reasonably.
02 Operating Environment
The use environment of the product is also an important selection basis. During the production process, industrial aluminum profiles undergo melting, extrusion, casting, and oxidation coloring processes. On the basis of the existing oxide film, multiple surface treatment processes such as sandblasting oxidation, anodizing, and electrophoretic coating are carried out to achieve a surface coating of up to 12% μ Above m, both in terms of wear resistance and corrosion resistance, as well as high temperature and weather resistance, it is very good and suitable for various harsh industrial production environments. Customers can choose the desired industrial aluminum profile model based on their own workshop production conditions. If it is a production workshop with high temperature and corrosion, the 6063-T5 industrial aluminum profile model is the most durable. If it is a production workshop with relatively good room temperature and production conditions, For industrial aluminum profiles with low requirements for corrosion resistance, general models can be used.
03 Usage Requirements
When selecting industrial aluminum profile specifications and models, users can choose appropriate aluminum profile models based on the load-bearing capacity, mechanical properties, and usage environment of the equipment frame they are building. The specifications and models can be based on the mechanical calculation formula and product parameters provided by the aluminum profile manufacturer as a reference, and reasonable selection can be made based on the usage needs of the equipment frame they need to build.
Industrial aluminum profile accessories have multiple connection methods, which can be flexibly matched according to user needs to ensure the final performance and aesthetics of the product. You can also consult the aluminum profile manufacturer for usage guidance; Aluminum profile product connectors have diversity and flexibility, which can be learned and referenced from the industrial aluminum profile selection manual.
04 Appearance requirements
In order to enhance the appearance performance of industrial aluminum profiles, electrolytic coloring, electroplating, electrophoretic coating, or electrostatic powder spraying are usually carried out on the anodized film, so that its surface is no longer limited to the original silver white. Industrial aluminum profiles can be turned into various desired colors, such as electrostatic powder spraying to yellow, electrolytic coloring to gold yellow, electroplating to bronze, black, brown, and so on. The production costs of different processing methods vary. If there are restrictions on production costs but no requirements for color, customers can choose the simplest silver white, which is relatively low in production costs. However, production workshops with special requirements for color can choose the color they need, but the cost investment should be higher because industrial aluminum profiles have better appearance performance and can create more added value for enterprises.
