Let us now see what characterizes this type of profiling at a commercial level, from the mechanical section to the aesthetic section:
– They are resistant to impacts and tensile loads. Aluminum in its pure state lacks this type of resistance, but when alloyed with other elements it covers these deficiencies. The aluminum profiles are made of quality alloys that guarantee resistant solid sections.
– Easy to machine. This feature makes them ideal for assemblies that require specific cuts at 45°, 90° or holes for the installation of special accessories.
– Adaptable to any type of project. There is a wide variety of profiles that respond to specific design and engineering requirements. At a structural, ornamental or protection level, there will always be an ideal profile for the task.
– Available in a wide variety of finishes. Aluminum by default has a natural protection against corrosion. The profiles take advantage of this and additionally have lacquered and anodized finishes, which are two techniques for coating aluminum that we talk about in detail in this post.
And these are just the main features. If we delve into each type of alloy in detail, we will find all the advantages that this profiles currently offers.
Now, we know how the production of aluminum profiles began and what characteristics they offer, but how are they produced? Let’s answer this question below:
