Heat Treatment Options
Our aluminium profiles can undergo a range of heat treatment options to enhance their properties. From T5 to T6 treatments, we tailor the process to achieve the desired level of hardness, strength, and elasticity. Each treatment option is designed to bring out the best in the material, ensuring that the final product stands up to the demands of its application.
T5 Heat Treatment
Process: Cooled from an elevated temperature shaping process and then artificially aged.
Characteristics: Increases the strength of the aluminum by accelerating the aging process, resulting in a material that has moderate strength and good formability.
T6 Heat Treatment
Process: Solution heat-treated and then artificially aged.
Characteristics: Provides a significant increase in strength compared to T5 by altering the microstructure of the aluminum. This results in a high-strength material with good machinability and fair formability.
Aluminum Profile Surface Treatment
Surface treatment for aluminum window profiles serves two important purposes: protection and customization. There are several straightforward methods for this. Anodizing involves creating a protective oxide layer through an electrochemical process, providing corrosion resistance. Electrophoretic coating (e-coating) ensures even coverage and enhanced durability. Powder coating uses dry powder for a tough, colorful finish. PVDF coating offers excellent weather resistance. Wood grain transfer printing replicates a wood texture for a natural look. Each of these methods caters to different needs, from safeguarding against the elements to achieving a desired aesthetic for aluminum window profiles.
Custom Aluminum Bar Process
At HTS Aluminum Profiles, we specialize in delivering custom aluminum extrusion solutions tailored to your specific needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our customization process:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your project requirements. We encourage you to share your design concepts, application needs, and any critical parameters that the aluminum profile must meet. This collaborative approach ensures that we fully understand your vision and objectives.
Step 2: Design and Engineering
Leveraging our extensive experience in aluminum extrusion, our skilled engineers work closely with you to refine your design. We consider factors such as the aluminum alloy grade, temper, and mechanical properties required for your application. Our team uses advanced CAD software to create precise technical drawings and 3D models of the proposed profile.
Step 3: Die Fabrication
Once the design is finalized, we proceed to manufacture the custom extrusion dies. Our precision die-making process ensures that the final profile will match your specifications with high accuracy. We employ state-of-the-art CNC machines to craft dies that can withstand the rigors of extrusion while maintaining tight tolerances.
Step 4: Aluminum Extrusion
With the dies ready, the actual extrusion process begins. We select the appropriate aluminum alloy and heat it to the precise extrusion temperature. The heated billet is then pressed through the die to create the custom profile. Our extrusion presses, ranging from 600 to 3600 tons, are capable of producing a wide range of profile sizes and shapes.
Step 5: Surface Treatment and Finishing
Following extrusion, the profiles undergo various surface treatments as per your requirements. Options include anodizing, electroplating, sandblasting, powder coating, fluorocarbon painting, and wood grain transfer printing. These processes enhance the profiles’ durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Step 6: Quality Assurance
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Each custom aluminum profile is subjected to rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets ISO standards and our European quality certifications. We perform dimensional inspections, mechanical testing, and surface finish evaluations to guarantee that your profiles are delivered without defects.

How to Produce Aluminum Bar
Aluminum profiles for doors and windows are manufactured using high-quality aluminum alloys, specifically designed for their structural integrity, durability, and corrosion resistance. The primary raw material used in the production of these profiles is aluminum extrusion billets.
Aluminum extrusion billets are cylindrical logs or ingots made from a blend of aluminum and various alloying elements. These alloying elements, such as silicon, magnesium, manganese, and copper, are added in precise proportions to enhance the strength, ductility, and other desired properties of the final aluminum profiles.
The billets undergo a series of processes to convert them into the desired profiles for doors and windows. The first step is heating the billets to a specific temperature, making them soft and malleable. Then, they are forced through a specially designed die under high pressure, using an extrusion press. The die imparts the desired shape and cross-sectional profile to the aluminum, resulting in the extruded profiles.
After extrusion, the profiles undergo various finishing processes, such as cutting, machining, surface treatment, and powder coating. These processes further enhance the aesthetics, functionality, and durability of the profiles, making them suitable for use in doors and windows.
How to Select Extruded Aluminum Bar
Define Your Requirements: Determine your specific requirements for the aluminum profiles. Consider factors such as the intended application, load-bearing capacity, thermal insulation needs, aesthetic preferences, and any specific industry standards or certifications that may be required.
Assess Material Quality: Check the material grade of the aluminum profiles. High-quality profiles often use standardized aluminum alloy grades such as 6061, 6063, or 6082. Verify if the profiles are made from pure aluminum or if they are alloyed with other elements to enhance their properties.
Physical Inspection: Physically inspect the profiles to evaluate their quality. Look for smooth and uniform surfaces, free from visible defects like scratches, dents, or irregularities. Check the dimensions and tolerances to ensure they meet your specifications.
Surface Treatment and Coating: Examine any surface treatments or coatings applied to the profiles. Anodized or powder-coated finishes are common for enhanced protection and aesthetics. Assess the quality and durability of the coating, ensuring it is uniform and resistant to corrosion, fading, and scratching.
Structural Integrity: Assess the strength and structural integrity of the profiles. Consider their load-bearing capacity, rigidity, and resistance to deformation. Profiles with proper heat treatment and extrusion techniques tend to exhibit better structural properties.
Certification and Compliance: Check if the aluminum profiles meet relevant industry standards and certifications. Look for certifications like ISO 9001 for quality management systems or specific industry certifications that demonstrate adherence to recognized quality standards.
