Aluminum Channel
Manufacturing of extruded aluminium profiles
Extrusion is a process whereby profiles are moulded. The extrusion process resembles squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. The toothpaste is a heated, cylindrical aluminium block also called a billet while the toothpaste tube is the so-called tool. As you can see in the illustration, the billet (pre-heated in an induction furnace to 450-500 degrees Celsius) is pushed through the tool/die, at which the profile is brought to the desired shape.
When the profile leaves the tool, it is cooled with water or air, after which the profiles are drawn while they are still "soft". This removes any tension build-up in the aluminium while the desired and correct profile dimensions are achieved. The profiles are then cut and afterwards given their final strength by being subjected either to heat and/or to cold hardening.
Many options and golden ground rules
There are many opportunities when it comes to profile design, but there are certain ground rules which should be taken into account to optimise the profile's suitability for production. This way you will typically create the most suitable design solutions for your profile design.
Product Introduction:
Aluminum Channels are specifically shaped for industrial and structural purposes. Aluminum Channel is more frequently used in architectural applications, such as window or glass frames/bracing.
We carry aluminum c channel/aluminum u channel in 6061 and 6063. 6061 angle has rounded corners and is generally used for structural applications where strength is important. 6063 angle has sharp corners and is generally used where surface finish is more important than strength. We have a variety of aluminum channel sizes with bases ranging from 1" to 12". Aluminum channel stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths.
