Understanding Aluminum: From Element to High-Performance Profiles
Aluminum, one of the most abundant metallic elements in the earth's crust, has become an indispensable material in modern industry and daily life due to its lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy processability, and recyclability. In construction, aluminum alloys such as 6063 are widely used in doors, windows, and curtain walls due to their excellenT Extrusion performance and surface treatment adaptability. In the automotive industry, alloys like 6061-T6 are favored for chassis frames and body structures, helping reduce weight and improve efficiency through their superior weldability and comprehensive mechanical properties. In aerospace, ultra-high-strength alloys such as 7075-T651 play a critical role in demanding applications like aircraft wing ribs and satellite brackets. Surface treatment technologies like anodizing and powder coating further enhance aluminum’s weather resistance and aesthetics, while innovative manufacturing techniques such as integrated die casting and aluminum matrix composites continuously push its performance limits. As a 100% recyclable material, aluminum continues to drive green manufacturing and sustainable development, serving as a vital bridge between industrial innovation and everyday life.
Physical & Chemical Properties
The Lightweight Champion:Density: 2.7g/cm³ (1/3 of steel), strength-to-weight ratio surpasses most alloys.
Conductivity:Electrical conductivity: 61% of copper, but higher efficiency per unit weight.
Self-Protection:Naturally forms Al₂O₃ layer, 50+ years lifespan in coastal areas.
Core Materials Technologies
1.Alloy Engineering:
6061-T6 | Tensile strength ≥ 310MPa, excellent welding performance | Automobile chassis, aerospace structural components
