Many buyers of aluminum and aluminum profiles in industrial aluminum and aluminum profiles, or manufacturers who want to replace other materials with industrial aluminum profiles, may worry that the service life of aluminum profiles will not meet the requirements. Because the hardness of industrial aluminum profiles is not as high as steel, and the quality is lighter than ordinary metals. So today we want to discuss how long the life of industrial aluminum profile is?
The chemical components of industrial aluminum profiles are aluminum, magnesium, silicon, and aluminum accounted for more than 95%. Magnesium and silicon are a small amount of alloy ingredients, but the content of 0 cannot be underestimated. Because the addition of magnesium has stronger corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance is an important factor in improving the service life. Silicon is the main factor to improve the strength of industrial aluminum profiles. Pure aluminum is very soft and cannot be used in the industrial field.
In fact, the alloy composition of industrial aluminum profiles and building aluminum profiles is the same, all of which are 6063 aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy doors and windows are the most familiar to everyone. Aluminum alloy doors and windows still do not oxidize and corrosion in sun and rain. There are no problems in the use of decades. Industrial aluminum profiles are generally used in the indoor environment and have a longer life.
In fact, the service life of industrial aluminum is affected by the following factors:
1. Whether the industrial aluminum profile has been treated, the surface of the general industrial aluminum profile will anodize, and of course there will be no treatment. The use of the surface anode oxidation is higher than the matrix, because the artificially formed oxide film is naturally formed than in the air. The oxide film is more uniform, more dense, and thicker, which can block the air well, and the hard abrasion resistance of the hard oxide film is very strong.
2. The service life of the use place in the open -air environment is also different from the indoor environment. Special industrial aluminum profiles will also be used in an environment with poor water or corrosiveness. In this case, the anode oxidation time will generally increase to increase the thickness of the oxide film, or the surface hard oxidation.
3. The quality, alloy composition of industrial aluminum profiles are unqualified or too much impurities, which will greatly affect the service life of industrial aluminum profiles. In particular, the industrial aluminum profile contains a certain amount of iron, and its corrosion resistance will be greatly reduced. In some factories, the surface of aluminum profiles reconstitia with waste aluminum will turn black and black, even if the iron content exceeds the standard.
