Analysis of the Performance Characteristics of Aluminum Profiles by a Grain Machinery Aluminum Manufacturer:

  Corrosion Resistance

  The density of aluminum profiles is only 2.7 g/cm³, approximately 1/3 of the density of steel, copper, or brass (7.83 g/cm³, 8.93 g/cm³, respectively). Aluminum can exhibit excellent corrosion resistance under most environmental conditions, including air, water (or saltwater), petrochemical products, and many chemical systems.

  Electrical Conductivity

  Aluminum profiles are often chosen for their excellent electrical conductivity. On an equal weight basis, aluminum's conductivity is nearly twice that of copper.

  Thermal Conductivity

  The thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys is about 50–60% that of copper, which is advantageous for manufacturing heat exchangers, evaporators, heaters, cookware, automotive cylinder heads, and radiators.

  Non-Ferromagnetic

  Aluminum profiles are non-ferromagnetic, an important property in the electrical and electronics industries. Aluminum does not spontaneously ignite, which is critical in applications involving flammable or explosive materials.

  Machinability

  Aluminum profiles have excellent machinability. Different wrought and cast aluminum alloys, as well as their various post-production conditions, have significantly different machining characteristics, often requiring specialized machinery or techniques.

  Formability

  The allowable deformation is governed by tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, and the corresponding work-hardening rate.

  Recyclability

  Aluminum is recyclable, and the properties of recycled aluminum are almost identical to those of primary aluminum.
