4 Aluminum Fabrication Methods
Aluminum profiles are made from aluminum bars through extrusion and coloring, and are now widely used in many fields. To suit a wider range of applications, extruded profiles need further processing. The most common aluminum fabrication methods are: coloring, laser cutting, drilling, and threading.
1. Coloring (Surface Treatment)
Coloring means applying color to the extruded aluminum profiles by anodizing or powder coating as required by customers.
2. Laser Cutting
Cutting is one of the most fundamental processing methods for aluminum profiles.
3. Drilling
Some aluminum profile frames require bolts, plates, or connections to be installed, so drilling is necessary.
4. Tapping
Threading, also called tapping, is another common process.
In addition to these four common methods, other processes like bending and milling are also frequently used.
