Construction aluminum profile is the building material of aluminum and aluminum products. Usually is first processed into casting products, forged products, and foil, plates, strips, tubes, rods, profiles, made by cold bending, sawing, drilling, assembling, painting, and other processes. The construction industry is one of the three major aluminum markets, about 20% of the total production of the world's aluminium profiles is used in the construction industry, in some industrial countries, and the amount of aluminum in the construction industry has accounted for more than 30% of its total production. In recent years, the architecturaluminum productsconstantly updated, the application of innovative construction products colored aluminum, composite aluminum, composite doors, window frames, and aluminum template is also growing. China has applied in industrial and civil buildings made of aluminum alloy roofing, walls, doors and windows, and gradually expanded the application both in the interior and exterior construction templates, and has achieved good results.
Features and Uses of Construction Aluminum Materials
The most important feature of aluminum and aluminum alloy, the first is its bulk density is about 1/3 of the steel, but the specific strength can meet or exceed the structural steel. Secondly, aluminum and aluminum alloy is easily processed into various shapes, able to adapt to a variety of connection process, to provide favorable conditions for building structures using the most economical and reasonable cross-section form. Therefore, the use of aluminum alloy can not only greatly reduce the weight of the building, save material, but also to reduce the transport of components, mounting workload, speed up the construction progress. In the earthquake zone and inaccessible mountainous and remote areas, its economic effect is more significant. Aluminum is widely used in industrial and civil buildings, aluminium roofing, aluminum walls, aluminum doors, aluminium window, aluminum skeleton and the interior and exterior panels, aluminum ceiling, aluminum railing, aluminum indoor furniture, aluminum store container and construction templates, and so on.
Architectural Aluminum Production Methods and Performance
The pure aluminum is low in strength, and its use is restricted. However, adding a small amount of one or more alloying elements, such as magnesium, silicon, manganese, copper, zinc, iron, chromium, titanium, etc., we can obtain the aluminum alloy of different properties. Aluminum alloy and then by cold working and heat treatment, and further strengthened and hardened, the tensile strength is greatly improved. Aluminum alloy, according to their mode of production, is divided into two categories, namely casting aluminum and wrought aluminum alloy. Generally, the architectural aluminum is usually wrought aluminum alloy for rolling into plate, foil, strip, extruded into rods, tubes or profiles of a variety of complex shapes.
