Architectural aluminum and industrial aluminum

Architectural aluminum and industrial aluminum

In aluminum processing, extrusion is one of the most important processing methods. Aluminum profiles are produced by heating, extrusion, surface treatment and other processes of aluminum alloy ingots, which are widely used in construction, automobile lightweight, transportation, automation equipment, consumer electronics, telecommunications and other downstream fields.

According to the direction of aluminum profile production, the world's distinction between aluminum profile categories is mainly industrial aluminum profiles and construction industry aluminum profiles. At present, the first consumption area of aluminum profiles is still the construction field, and the output of architectural aluminum profiles in 2021 accounted for 63% of the total output of aluminum materials, which is twice that of industrial aluminum profiles. The areas with a large consumption of industrial aluminum profiles are photovoltaics, 3C equipment, building templates and new energy vehicles.

There are many manufacturers in the world aluminum profile industry, fierce competition in the industry, especially in the low-end market competition has become white-hot, from the existing product structure, building aluminum profile capacity has been excessive. In this context, aluminum profile companies have entered the product market with higher added value, and industrial aluminum profiles and automotive lightweight aluminum profiles have become the first choice for the transformation of aluminum profile enterprises.
