TYPES OF SURFACE TREATMENT PROCESSES
There are a wide variety of surface treatment processes designed to enhance the performance of a part, such as increasing corrosion resistance, wear resistance, aesthetics, or other specific features.
Electroplating
Using the principle of electrolysis to deposit a layer of metal plating on a metal surface, such as zinc, copper, nickel, chromium, etc., to enhance corrosion resistance, wear resistance or decorative properties.
Anodic Oxidation
Especially for aluminium and aluminium alloys, it generates a dense film of aluminium oxide by electrochemical reaction, which improves corrosion and abrasion resistance, and can also be coloured.
Wire drawing
By forming a regular fine line texture on the surface of the metal, thus giving the product a unique texture and visual effect.
Sandblasting
The use of a high-pressure jet of abrasive material (e.g. grit) to remove surface impurities and provide a uniform roughness that facilitates the adhesion of subsequent coatings.
DLC Coating
An amorphous thin film of carbon, similar in structure and properties to natural diamond, but without the crystal structure, DLC coatings are widely used in industry due to their excellent properties.
Marking
Although not a surface coating treatment, laser marking can leave a permanent mark on a metal surface for identification, tracking or decorative purposes.

WORKING PRINCIPLE, ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATIONS
1. What is aluminum extrusion service?
Aluminum extrusion service is a metal processing technology specifically used to produce aluminum products with specific cross-sectional shapes, such as profiles, pipes, bars, and other customized aluminum parts. This process involves placing the heated aluminum alloy billet (usually an aluminum rod or ingot) in a closed container (extrusion tube), and then extruding it from a precisely designed mold hole through strong pressure to form a continuous aluminum material with a predetermined cross-section.
2. Here are some of the main advantages of aluminum extrusion services:
Design flexibility
Aluminum extrusion technology can produce almost any complex cross-section profile, providing designers with great freedom to create optimized structures and innovative designs.
Dimensional accuracy and surface quality
Extrusion molding can provide high-precision dimensional control and good surface smoothness, reducing the need for subsequent precision machining and saving time and cost.
Cost effectiveness
Compared to other metal forming methods such as forging, casting, or welding, aluminum extrusion typically has lower costs, especially in mass production, as it reduces material waste and subsequent processing requirements.
Light weight and high strength
Aluminum itself is lighter than steel, but after extrusion molding, its strength can be further improved through heat treatment and other methods, which enables aluminum profiles to maintain lightweight while having sufficient structural strength.
3. Application
Aluminum extrusion services are widely used in multiple industries due to the advantages of lightweight, high strength, good corrosion resistance, easy processing, and recyclability of aluminum extruded profiles. The following are some of the main application areas of aluminum extrusion services
Automotive industry
Aluminum extruded profiles are used to manufacture body structural components, suspension systems, wheels, and interior parts, helping vehicles reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.
Aerospace
Some structural components, internal parts, and external coverings of aircraft may also use aluminum extruded profiles to achieve lightweighting.
Railway vehicles
The frames and internal structures of high-speed rail and subway carriages often use aluminum extruded profiles to improve operational efficiency and safety.
Heat sink
Aluminum extruded profiles are used as heat sinks for electronic devices due to their excellent thermal conductivity and processing performance.
Door and window frames
Aluminum extruded profiles are commonly used to make frames for windows and doors due to their aesthetic appeal, durability, and low maintenance costs.
Office furniture
Aluminum extruded profiles are used to make support components for office desks, chairs, and filing cabinets.
A Common problems include strains, scratches, bends, deformations, indentations, etc. For example, strains are usually caused by a mismatch between the temperature and extrusion speed of the aluminum rod
A Mold design directly affects the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and internal structure of profiles. Reasonable mold design can reduce defects such as concavity, deformation, etc.
A When selecting aluminum alloy, consider the end use of the profile, the required mechanical properties (such as strength, ductility), corrosion resistance, heat treatment capacity and other factors. Common aluminum alloy 6061, 6063, etc., the specific choice can be determined according to the application needs.
A When designing aluminum profiles, factors such as the geometric shape, wall thickness, and material grade of the profiles should be considered. It is usually necessary to collaborate with extrusion service providers to ensure that the design meets the requirements of the extrusion process.
