There are many types of aluminum profiles, including assembly line profiles, door and window profiles, architectural profiles, etc. Aluminum square tubes are also one of the aluminum profiles, and they are all formed by extrusion.
The aluminum square tube is an Al-Mg-Si alloy with medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. Aluminum square tube is a promising alloy with a wide range of uses. It can be anodized and colored, and can also be painted with enamel. It is generally used in construction. It contains a small amount of Cu, so its strength is higher than that of 6063, but its quenching sensitivity is also higher than that of 6063. Air quenching cannot be achieved after extrusion, and it needs re-solution treatment and quenching aging to obtain higher strength.
Aluminum profiles can be divided into 1024, 2011, 6063, 6061, 6082, 7075 and other alloy grades, of which 6 series is the most common. The difference between different grades is that the ratio of various metal components is different, except for commonly used doors and windows Except for architectural aluminum profiles such as 60 series, 70 series, 80 series, 90 series, and curtain wall series, there is no clear model distinction for industrial aluminum profiles, and most manufacturers process them according to the actual drawings of customers.
The difference between aluminum square tube and aluminum profile
1. The place where the material is used is different
Aluminum square tubes are mostly used for ceiling decoration, suitable for large public places, such as airports, high-speed rail stations, shopping malls, office buildings and other areas. Aluminum profiles are mostly used in the automation machinery industry, such as electronic assembly line workbenches, factory workshop workbenches, mechanical equipment protective covers, safety fences, information bar whiteboard racks, automated robots and other industries.
2. The shape of the material is different
Aluminum square tubes are divided into aluminum plate square tubes and profile aluminum square tubes. There are U-shaped aluminum square tubes and grooved aluminum square tubes. The products have good hardness, ventilation and ventilation, and have good decorative functions. The aluminum profile is also made by extrusion, which can form a variety of cross-sectional sizes of different sizes. It is flexible and changeable, and has good applicability. It is mostly used in the mechanical automation industry.
3. The connectors of aluminum profile accessories are different
Although both aluminum square tubes and aluminum profiles are made of aluminum, the industries they use and their own characteristics make their installation methods very different. The aluminum square tube mostly adopts the keel installation system, and the buckle type, flat tooth type, multi-functional keel and so on can be selected. The aluminum profiles are mostly installed and connected with matching aluminum profile accessories. The aluminum profile accessories are various in variety and complete in specifications to meet the different installation needs of users.
4. The standards of aluminum profile and pipes are different
ASTM E155 (Aluminum casting)
ASTM B210 (Aluminum Seamless tubes)
ASTM B241 (Aluminum Seamless Pipe and Seamless extruded tubes)
ASTM B345 (Aluminum Seamless pipe and extruded tube for oil and gas transmission and distribution piping)
ASTM B361 (Aluminum and Aluminum alloy welded fittings)
ASTM B247 (Aluminum fittings)
ASTM B491 (Aluminum Extruded round tubes for general-purpose applications)
ASTM B547 (Aluminum Formed and arc welded round pipe and tube)
