What is Aluminum Fabrication?
Aluminum fabrication in Florida is the process of frequently extruding aluminum. Extrusion
involves drawing or pushing the aluminum blank in a die to produce a product of
preferred shape.
It can be done in two ways:
1. Hot process
Involves heating the aluminum to become more malleable
2. The cold process
Freezing method at room temperature
Features of Aluminum
Lighter material than stainless steel, the cost is usually lesser which makes it a
careful selection in many applications.Aluminum is better than stainless steel when it comes to heat conduction.
It is resistant to corrosion and highly malleable so you can fabricate it into a variety
of forms.
Kinds of Aluminum Fabrication
Deburring
Method of removing small-cap or extrusion burrs using a mechanical brush or a grinding
machine.
Drilling
Should be carried out at higher speeds, especially with softer alloys. The hole will be
slightly larger than the diameter of the bit. To avoid contracting the hole due to a large
amount of heat released during drilling, cooling is essential.
Hydroforming
This is a unique aluminum fabrication procedure where you can shape aluminum
three-dimensionally in a single process. The single part can be created with excellent
dimensional accuracy.
Milling
Method of aluminum fabrication is using milling machines, which have larger teeth
pitches than the equivalent machines for fabricating steel.
Plastic forming ( bending/stretching)
As a method of aluminum fabrication, plastic forming includes several processes:
draw bending, which is used in most cases; roller bending, which is used for creating
large radii in the workpiece; stretch bending, which offers very high three-dimensional
shape accuracy; and press bending, mainly used for bending of large series.
Sawing
Sewing aluminum is done faster than sewing steel since higher sewing speeds can
be achieved with aluminum than with steel.
Shearing
Presswork is carried out through eccentric presses using a cutting tool. Punching
and dying a hardened tool is recommended.
Tapping
Internal and external threads made through plastic deformation.
Turning
The pieces to be turned during this aluminum fabrication procedure, should be fitted
securely to avoid vibration.
