Whether you\u2019re designing components for industrial machinery, medical products, or more complex consumer products, there are a number of options to consider to heighten durability without sacrificing aesthetics. As experts in our field, we can share the options a designer has to enhance both the durability and aesthetic appeal of aluminum tubing and extruded shapes. From the initial design phase to the final production, we will delve into the various techniques and processes that can be employed to achieve optimal results that will last.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Designing for Durability: Aluminum Alloy Selection<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/aluminum-alloy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alloy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and material treatment significantly enhances the durability of custom aluminum products.

If durability is a crucial factor in the success of your extruded aluminum tube or extruded shape, hard coat anodizing (Type III) should be considered. A coating of up to .004\u201d can be applied. The coating can withstand thousands of cycles of use and typical applications are linear slides, hydraulic cylinder wear surfaces, and actuating cams.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/aluminum-alloy\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial anodizing (Type II) is a good choice for industrial, medical, and recreational applications. Aluminum bike rims, linear slides and handguards are good examples of anodized aluminum extrusions. The anodized layer prevents oxidation and protects the aluminum from scratches. Type II anodizing coating thickness ranges from .0001\u2033-.0010\u2033. Unlike Type III, Type II commercial anodize can be used with a wide variety of colored organic dyes.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/aluminum-alloy\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mechanical finishes such as brushing, vibratory deburring, and bead blasting can be applied prior to anodizing to further enhance the extruded aluminum\u2019s appearance.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/aluminum-alloy\/\"><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Paints<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wet and powder <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/fabrication-machining\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paints<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also commonly applied to aluminum extrusions to enhance its cosmetic appearance and protect the aluminum from the elements or abrasion. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With both types, particles of electrically charged paint adhere to electrically grounded surfaces of the aluminum and are then heated in an oven to fuse the paint into a smooth coating.

Another benefit is the coated aluminum still maintains conductivity when coated. Chem films are also used to improve adhesion of paints or primers. The coatings come in RoHS-compliant options for non-industrial applications. RoHS-compliant versions are clear after application, while non-RoHS versions impart a yellowish hue.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/profileprecisionextrusions.com\/staging\/9083\/aluminum-alloy\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><b>Collaboration and Expertise<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fully leverage the benefits of custom aluminum fabrication, collaboration with an experienced manufacturer like Profile Precision Extrusion is essential.
