where to buy aluminum metal plate? from Gu's blog

Aluminum is the most common material in the world, and it is an important material for our daily life. Aluminum is a very stable element. In addition, it has high heat conductivity and high flexibility. As we know, many countries like China started to produce aluminium products to sale around the world, like car parts or appliances. It could be easily found everywhere in every country because of its widespread use.

Aluminum extrusion is one kind of production process that creates objects from blocks of metal by blow molding or cold forming. The same as other materials such as plastics and wood  , it has quality and characteristics of its own. It can be used as a material for product manufacture, such as aluminum profile extrusion molding.

Aluminum is the most important raw material in this production process since there are many advantages to use aluminum instead of other materials like wood or plastic, because they have similar properties but not so good thermal conductivity and high weight. Aluminum can meet the requirement better than wood because the increase of  the weight of aluminum can also increase thermal conductivity.

Aluminum extrusion has several advantages:

Shorter production time and lower cost than wood, plastic or other materials.

Fast cooling rate after blow molding because it is easy to control the shape of product with high accuracy.

Low shrinkage rate, long service life and low maintenance cost.

It can be processed into various shapes in different colors. It has wide application for product manufacturing, such as aluminum profile extrusion molding.

Aluminium alloy plate is recyclable and nontoxic material, which can be used again after being processed.

Aluminum has good corrosion resistance and it doesn’t rust easily; so when making products from aluminum, there will be little or no need to use painting or other finishing techniques.

Because of its light weight, aluminum extrusion process is easy to transport  Aluminum extrusion has several disadvantages:

It is not as strong as wood or plastic, it can be easily broken.

Aluminum requires special molding materials, such as these require more time to set and heat up than those made of other materials.
