As a B2B supplier of machine construction profiles and structures, Aluvice takes pride in being known for the high quality of its products. That’s why we work with materials that are not only durable but also functional. Loved for its versatility and advantages, aluminum is widely regarded as the preferred metal in the industrial world. Aluminum performs well in almost every aspect, and Aluvice gladly takes advantage of this. Below is a concise summary of aluminum’s numerous benefits.
Long Lifespan and Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum is a strong metal that does not deform, crack, split, or rust. It is also impervious to temperature fluctuations, moisture, and sunlight. This is because it naturally forms a protective oxide layer. For even better performance, the metal can be anodized, which is the artificial application of an oxide layer. The profiles and structures from Aluvice are already treated before being delivered to customers. If reliability and long-term performance are important to you, this metal is an excellent choice.
Lightweight, Yet Strong and Non-Flammable
Although aluminum may seem too lightweight for applications in machine construction, don’t be misled. It is very sturdy and requires no additional support. Being just one-third the weight of steel, aluminum makes finished products easier to handle, such as during installation. This provides significant savings in weight and transportation costs without compromising strength. Moreover, the metal is fire-resistant.
Easy to Work With and Extrude
Aluminum’s soft and malleable nature makes it easy to extrude into complex shapes. Extrusion is a manufacturing process where the metal is pressed through a die. This makes the design and production processes cost-efficient and flexible. This property is ideal for producing our ISB, BSB, and NTS profiles. These profiles arrive at Aluvice already extruded and anodized. From this starting point, we complete our orders by cutting them to size or sending them to customers for further processing.
Environmentally Friendly (Green Metal)
Aluminum has a bright future ahead. In addition to the above benefits, it is sustainable, 100% recyclable, and has a low environmental impact. About 70% of all aluminum ever produced is still in circulation today. Recycling aluminum requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum. Thanks to these properties, aluminum is also known as “the green metal.” Additionally, recycled aluminum retains all its original qualities.
Low Maintenance and Aesthetically Adaptable
Aluminum has a smooth and shiny surface that resists dirt, such as dust, making it significantly easier to maintain. These profiles no longer need to be delivered in their natural color; they can be customized to suit various styles. At Aluvice, you can choose between standard and black profiles. Other colors are available for an additional cost (powder coating), but the profiles are not anodized. Our black profiles are not only an aesthetic choice, such as for racing simulators, but are also used in test environments, like the automotive sector, where sensors can better detect shapes and colors.
