Surface Finish
Surface treatment of aluminum profiles is crucial for enhancing their appearance and performance. One common method is anodizing, where a protective oxide layer is created on the aluminum’s surface through an electrolytic process. This helps improve corrosion resistance and allows for the addition of various colors and finishes. Another widely used technique is powder coating, where a dry powder is applied to the aluminum surface and then heated to form a durable coating. These processes not only make aluminum profiles look better but also increase their resistance to wear, weathering, and other environmental factors, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in construction, automotive, and decorative industries.
Anodizing forms a hard, protective oxide layer on the surface of tubular aluminum, increasing resistance to corrosion. This process allows for a variety of color options—like silver, black, champagne, and gold—creating a smooth and decorative finish. Film thickness typically ranges from 8 to 15μm, and can go up to 20μm for extra protection.
Powder coating involves spraying dry powders onto tubular aluminum and curing them at high temperatures. This produces a thick, tough layer in a wide range of vibrant colors, providing excellent protection against wear, impacts, and UV exposure. Coatings are usually 60–120μm thick.
Wood grain finishes give tubular aluminum a natural wood appearance through a special heat transfer or sublimation process. This creates a realistic wood look combined with the strength and low maintenance of aluminum. A base powder coating is applied first (typically 60–80μm thick), with the wood pattern embedded into this layer for lasting results.
Extruded Aluminum Raw Material
The aluminum profiles for doors and windows typically utilize common aluminum alloy grades, with 6063 being the most widely used option. This alloy is favored for its excellent extrudability and surface finish, making it ideal for architectural applications. For applications that require higher structural strength, 6061 is often utilized.
6063 Aluminum Alloy: This alloy is the most commonly used for door and window profiles due to its excellent workability and corrosion resistance. Its properties make it suitable for creating a variety of shapes and profiles used in architectural designs.
6061 Aluminum Alloy: Used in applications that demand enhanced structural strength, 6061 offers high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and weldability, making it suitable for more demanding designs.
6060 Aluminum Alloy: While not as commonly used as 6063, 6060 is a material similar to 6063 and is frequently employed in Europe for various profiles. It provides good formability and corrosion resistance, making it a viable option for specific applications in the region.
How to Produce Thermal Break Aluminum Profile
Thermal break aluminum profiles are manufactured by connecting two aluminum profiles with a thermal break strip. After the aluminum profiles are extruded, they are assembled using a special insertion machine that combines the profiles with the thermal break material. This process ensures effective insulation by minimizing thermal conductivity between the two aluminum sections. The production of these profiles involves high-quality aluminum alloys, which are crucial for their structural integrity, durability, and corrosion resistance.
The aluminum extrusion billets used are cylindrical logs made from a blend of aluminum and alloying elements, which are added in precise proportions to enhance the final properties of the profiles. The billets are heated to a specific temperature to make them malleable, then forced through a specially designed die under high pressure. After extrusion, the profiles undergo various finishing processes, enhancing their aesthetics and functionality for use in doors and windows.

Ensure that the profiles are made from quality aluminum, either pure or alloyed, to enhance their overall performance. The thermal break strip should also be made from high-grade materials, commonly polyamide (PA66), which offers excellent insulation properties.
3. Evaluate the Thermal Break Strip:
Pay special attention to the thermal break strip, as it plays a crucial role in the profile’s insulation performance. Look for strips that provide effective thermal separation between the two aluminum sections, minimizing heat transfer. Check for the thickness and design of the thermal break to ensure optimal insulation and compliance with energy efficiency standards.
4. Physical Inspection:
Physically inspect the aluminum profiles to assess their quality. Look for smooth, uniform surfaces that are free from visible defects such as scratches, dents, or irregularities. Ensure that the dimensions and tolerances of both the profiles and the thermal break strips meet your specifications for a precise fit and effective insulation.
5. 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. The thermal break strip should also be robust enough to withstand environmental conditions without compromising insulation.
6. Structural Integrity:
Evaluate the strength and structural integrity of the thermal break aluminum profiles. Consider their load-bearing capacity, rigidity, and resistance to deformation. Profiles manufactured using proper heat treatment and extrusion techniques tend to exhibit superior structural properties, which directly impact their performance over time.
7. Certification and Compliance:
Ensure that both the aluminum profiles and the thermal break strips 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, ensuring that your chosen profiles will perform effectively in their intended application.
