Industrial aluminum refers to all aluminum profiles except for building doors and windows, curtain walls, indoor and outdoor decoration, and aluminum profiles for building structures. When it comes to the processing method of industrial aluminum, we must first figure out whether to change the structure of the aluminum profile or the surface processing technology.

When it comes to the processing method of industrial aluminum, we must first figure out whether to change the structure of the aluminum profile or the surface processing technology.

Generally speaking, the structure of the aluminum profile can be easily changed with a CNC lathe. Milling, drilling, tapping, stamping, bending and other processes can be deep processing, especially suitable for aluminum shell and some mechanical structural parts.

1. sandblasting

The process of cleaning and roughening metal surfaces under the impact of high-speed airflow. This method can make the workpiece surface to obtain a certain degree of cleanliness and different roughness, improve the mechanical properties of the workpiece surface, thereby improving the fatigue resistance of the workpiece.

2. Polishing

Reduce the surface roughness of automotive aluminum parts by mechanical, chemical or electrochemical methods to obtain a bright and smooth surface. The polishing process is mainly divided into: mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, electrolytic polishing.

3. Anodizing

Anodizing refers to the electrochemical oxidation of metals. Aluminum and its alloys in the corresponding electrolyte and specific process conditions, under the action of the applied current, the formation of oxide film on the aluminum products (anode).
Anodizing can not only solve the defects of aluminum surface hardness and wear resistance, but also extend the service life of aluminum and improve the aesthetics of aluminum. There are also some architectural aluminum profiles using wood grain process, electrophoresis process, baking process, etc. are in recent years, industrial aluminum gradually adopted some surface treatment process.
