Compared with other metal materials, the cost performance of industrial aluminum profiles has many advantages, as follows:

Performance:

Light weight: The density of aluminum is about 2.7g/cm³, much lower than many common metals, such as iron (density about 7.86g/cm³), copper (density about 8.96g/cm³) and so on. This makes the weight of aluminum profiles lighter in the same volume, more labor-saving and convenient in the handling and installation process, especially for large structural parts or equipment that needs to move frequently, and can be transported and installed. For example, in the field of building curtain walls, aerospace and other areas with strict requirements for weight, the lightweight advantage of aluminum profiles is particularly prominent.

Corrosion resistance: After anodizing and other surface treatment, industrial aluminum profiles can form a dense oxide film, which has good corrosion resistance. In contrast, metal materials such as iron are easy to rust and require additional anti-corrosion treatment, such as spray painting, galvanized, etc., which not only increases the cost, but also may affect the use and appearance of the material. Aluminum profiles can maintain long-term stability under general environmental conditions, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and reducing long-term use costs.

High strength: Through reasonable alloy formulation and processing, industrial aluminum profiles can obtain high strength, which can meet the needs of a variety of industrial applications. Although in some scenarios with high strength requirements, it may not be as strong as some special alloy steels, for most conventional application scenarios, the strength of aluminum profiles is sufficient, and its specific strength (strength to density ratio) is higher, that is, it can provide higher strength support at the same weight.

Good machinability: aluminum profiles have good plasticity and machinability, and can be made into products of various shapes and sizes through extrusion, stretching, bending, stamping and other processing methods to meet the needs of different application scenarios. And the processing process is relatively simple, does not require complex equipment, and the processing cost is low.

Recyclability: aluminum is a recyclable metal, and the recycled aluminum can be used again to produce aluminum profiles or other aluminum products after treatment, and the recycling rate is high. This not only helps to save resources, but also reduces raw material costs and reduces the impact on the environment.

Economic aspects:

Raw material cost: Aluminum is a rich metal element in the earth's crust, and its resources are relatively extensive, which makes the supply of raw materials for aluminum profiles relatively stable and the price fluctuation relatively small. Although aluminum prices in recent years will also be affected by market supply and demand, energy prices and other factors, but in general, compared with some rare metals or precious metals, aluminum raw material costs are relatively low.

High production efficiency: the production process of industrial aluminum profiles is relatively simple, the use of extrusion can achieve large-scale production, high production efficiency, and can reduce the production cost per unit of product. And the processing process of aluminum profiles is relatively simple, the processing speed is fast, and the production cycle can be shortened and the production efficiency can be improved.

Long use: Because aluminum profiles have good corrosion resistance and strength, their use is longer, and they can maintain good performance and appearance for a long time, reducing the cost of replacement and maintenance. In some long-term use of industrial equipment, building structures and other fields, the cost-effective advantage of aluminum profiles is better.

Application:

Strong versatility: the specifications of industrial aluminum profiles are diverse and there are many varieties, and the appropriate profiles can be selected according to different application needs, which has strong versatility. Whether it is mechanical manufacturing, electronic equipment, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other fields, you can find suitable aluminum products, a wide range of applications.

High design flexibility: the connection of aluminum profiles is simple, and the use of bolts and nuts and other connectors can achieve rapid assembly and disassembly, which is convenient for structural adjustment and change. This allows designers to have higher flexibility in product design, and can adjust the design scheme at any time according to the actual needs, improving the design efficiency and product adaptability.
