What Are the Differences in the Price of Aluminum Profile?

What are the reasons for the difference in the price of aluminum profiles?

With the progress and development of the times, industrial aluminum profiles have penetrated into the core projects of many enterprises and have become an indispensable part. With the continuous expansion of the market, the development of aluminum profiles is constantly being updated. Therefore, a considerable part of the companies feel unusually confused in use. Why is there a difference in the price of aluminum profiles in the same type of aluminum profile?

In fact, this question is not difficult to answer. The main reason is the material and process of aluminum profiles.

Generally speaking, the price of industrial aluminum profile is roughly obtained by the cost of aluminum ingot and the cost of processing technology. The price of aluminum ingots in China is generally calculated based on the comprehensive average of the price system network such as the Yangtze River Nonferrous Metal Network and CNOOC. Then there are nothing more than the following reasons.

First, the price of aluminum ingot. The price of aluminum ingots is changing every day. The small influence of the rise and falling is small on the price of aluminum profiles. The change in the price of aluminum ingot has a greater impact on custom aluminum profiles; for conventional profiles, due to inventory, it has a small impact.

Second, the types of aluminum profiles are different.

Due to wall thickness and size tolerance, different types of aluminum profiles are also different. Therefore, thousands of aluminum profiles have thousands of prices.

Third, the difficulty of production is different. Aluminum profiles with difficult production such as cantilever, large wall thickness, large cavity, and large cross section are large. The production cost is very high, and the price is naturally high. There are also some universal aluminum profiles with less difficult production such as round tube, square tube, aluminum row, etc., and have a high qualification rate of finished products. Such aluminum profile prices will be relatively low.

Fourth, the surface treatment method is different. The substrate is an aluminum profile without surface treatment, and the price is relatively low. Industrial aluminum profiles are generally anode oxidation treatment, as well as various surface treatment methods such as spraying, electrical swimming, wood grain transfer, etc., and the prices are also different.

The above reasons are the reasons for the difference in the price of aluminum profiles. The content of the article is introduced here. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
