Aluminium is today the most important industrially used metal after steel with the applications in almost all fields and all areas of everyday life due to its light-weight, high strength and recyclability.
Aluminium has been described as “the material of opportunity” and is the fastest growing metal today due to its unique combination of properties – high strength and low weight, good electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent formability, good resistance corrosion and attractive surface finish – which means it can be used practically in all design contexts and product applications.
Aluminium is extracted from its oxide “alumina” by the Hall-Heroult process in smelters. Alumina is extracted from bauxite by the Bayer process in Alumina refinery.
Aluminium can be recycled and used time and time again, whilst using only a fraction of the energy required for its primary production.
Advantages of Aluminium Extrusion : Aluminium extrusion is easier than welding. Construction companies prefer this for several reasons. It is economical as well as helps to fabricate parts with an invariable cross section. Aluminium is a good heat protector and the metal can be easily bonded with adhesive. And above all, aluminium extrusion are cost-effective to fit.
Advantages of Aluminium Extruded Products : The benefits of aluminium products are diverse.
