Industrial Aluminum Profile
In fact, the difference between them is very simple. From the appearance point of view, the extruded aluminum profile is long and has a uniform cross-section. Generally speaking, its cross-section is sawed from any length, and the shape is the same. And if you look closely, you can see some fine extrusion lines. For example, square tubes, round tubes, aluminum rows, and angle aluminum are the simplest extruded aluminum profiles. However, die-casting aluminum products do not have a fixed cross-section and shape. Die-casting aluminum products are cast, one by one, without sawing.
General aluminum profile
Extruded aluminum profiles are extruded through an extrusion machine by heating a round aluminum rod to its critical point. Die-casting aluminum is made of aluminum ingots and alloy materials, which are melted in a furnace and then molded into a die-casting machine. The shape of die-cast aluminum products can be designed like a toy, with different shapes and convenient connections in various directions. In addition, it has high hardness and strength and can be mixed with zinc to form a zinc-aluminum alloy. The cost of die-casting aluminum product molds is much higher than that of extruded aluminum profile molds, and it is not easy to repair the molds if the size design is different.
Die-cast aluminum products
To sum up, extruded aluminum profiles use machining methods without melting metal materials; aluminum alloy die-casting is a casting method that must first melt metal materials, pour the molten aluminum alloy into the mold to cool and form it, and then take it out of the mold.
