Manufacturing process:
Extrsusion aluminum profiles: After heating the aluminum alloy to a certain temperature, the aluminum material is extruded through a mold using an extruder to form profiles with specific cross-sections. This process can create complex cross-sections and shapes.
Casting aluminum profiles: Melting aluminum alloy at high temperatures, then pouring the melted aluminum into a mold to cool and solidify, forming castings of the desired shape. Casting can achieve more complex shapes and larger sizes.
Mechanical properties:
Casting aluminum profiles may have defects such as pores and inclusions, and their mechanical properties may not be as uniform as extruded aluminum profiles.
Application areas:
Extruded aluminum profiles are commonly used in fields such as construction, transportation, electronics, and industry, especially when lightweight and high-strength are required.
Cast aluminum profiles are commonly used in applications that require complex shapes and large components, such as automotive engine casings, mechanical parts, aerospace components, etc.
