Obround Metric Aluminum Extrusion Tube

Overview

We start with carefully selected aluminum alloys, which are heated to a malleable state and then forced through a precision - engineered die. As the aluminum passes through the die, it takes on the shape of the die cavity, creating continuous profiles with consistent cross - sections. This process allows for the production of complex and customized shapes with relatively low tooling costs, making aluminum extrusion an economical and efficient solution for a wide range of industries.

Features

Design Flexibility

One of the most outstanding features of aluminum extrusion is its unparalleled design flexibility. With aluminum extrusion, almost any shape can be created, from simple rectangular tubes and angles to highly complex and intricate profiles. Our team of experienced designers and engineers can work with customers to develop custom die designs that meet their specific requirements. This flexibility enables the creation of unique products that are tailored to the exact needs of different applications, whether it's for architectural facades, automotive components, or consumer products.

Cost - Effective Production

Aluminum extrusion offers a cost - effective manufacturing solution. Once the die is fabricated, the extrusion process can produce large quantities of profiles with minimal additional cost per unit. The relatively low cost of aluminum raw materials, combined with the efficiency of the extrusion process, results in products that are both high - quality and affordable. Additionally, the ability to recycle aluminum makes it an environmentally friendly and cost - effective choice in the long run.

Excellent Mechanical Properties

Aluminum extrusions inherit the beneficial mechanical properties of the base aluminum alloys. They offer good strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. The extrusion process can also be optimized to enhance these properties further, such as through heat treatment after extrusion. This makes aluminum extrusions suitable for a wide range of applications, from load - bearing structures to heat - dissipating components.

Lightweight and Durable

Aluminum is a lightweight metal, and extruded aluminum products retain this advantage. The lightweight nature of aluminum extrusions reduces the overall weight of products, which is beneficial in industries such as transportation, where weight reduction can lead to improved fuel efficiency. Despite being lightweight, aluminum extrusions are highly durable and can withstand the rigors of various environments, thanks to their inherent corrosion resistance and strength.

Applications

Construction and Architecture

In the construction and architecture industries, aluminum extrusions are used extensively. They are used for building facades, windows, doors, curtain walls, and structural framing. The design flexibility of aluminum extrusion allows architects and designers to create unique and aesthetically pleasing building designs. The corrosion resistance of aluminum ensures the long - term durability of these structures, even in harsh weather conditions. Additionally, the lightweight nature of aluminum extrusions simplifies installation, reducing labor costs and construction time.

Automotive and Transportation

Aluminum extrusions play a significant role in the automotive and transportation sectors. They are used in vehicle body structures, frames, and interior components. The lightweight nature of aluminum extrusions helps automakers reduce the weight of vehicles, improving fuel efficiency and performance. In the case of buses and trains, aluminum extrusions are used for structural components, where their strength and corrosion resistance are essential for long - term reliability.

Consumer Products

Aluminum extrusions are also widely used in the production of consumer products. From furniture and appliances to bicycles and sporting goods, aluminum extrusions offer a combination of lightweight design, durability, and aesthetic appeal. For example, in furniture manufacturing, aluminum extrusions can be used to create sleek and modern frames, while in bicycles, they provide a lightweight yet strong structure for enhanced performance.
