Custom Aluminum Extrusion 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.
Step 7: Packing and Delivery
After passing all quality inspections, the aluminum profiles are carefully packed to prevent any damage during transit. We use robust packaging materials and methods tailored to the profiles’ dimensions and your delivery preferences. Our logistics team then manages the safe and timely delivery of your custom aluminum profiles to your specified location.
Step 8: After-Sales Support
Our commitment to your satisfaction extends beyond delivery. We offer comprehensive after-sales support to address any concerns or additional requirements you may have. Our customer service team is always ready to assist you with any questions or feedback.
