USES AND APPLICATIONS OF ALUMINUM

ALUMINUM PROFILES

Aluminum is the third most common element in nature, right behind silicon and oxygen. Given its high endurance to corrosion and low density, it is of great utility in materials engineering

In addition, you have other advantages: it is a good electrical conductor, is easy to machine and the price of aluminum is more affordable than other metals. For all this, its use increased from the second half of the 20th century until it was only behind steel.

The application of different metals and alloys in modern industry is essential. From strong steel or resistant iron structures to flexible and durable elements such as aluminum; and although there are plastic compounds that are part of our everyday materials, metal has been and continues to be one of the best raw materials when it comes to making all kinds of constructions and fabrications.

The needs that the industrial sector demands require specialization and the demand for unique products, for this reason, at Extralum we work every day to maintain an optimal service and a technically unbeatable product tailored to each client.

Where can I use aluminum profiles?

Aluminum profiles are used in doors and Windows, but they are also

designed to be used in different markets such as:

Architectonical Structures:

Curtain walls, Roof systems, windows, awnings, doors, window frames, bathroom accessories, etc.

Appliances.

Exterior and Interior of Buildings.

Sports Equipment:

Golf Carts, Camping/Fishing elements.

Nautical

Electric Motor Pieces.

Furniture.

Automotive and aeronautical industry.

Aerospace industry:

Protection and signaling of satellites due to resistance to UV rays.

Aluminum: A material for the future.

Aluminum has the enormous advantage that it can be recycled an infinite number of times without losing its properties, which allows an important saving in costs and contaminating emissions. Its applications are varied and its use increased because of its lightness, ductility, and rentability in the recycling process.
