Custom Shapes to Create a Signature Design Solution
Custom aluminum extrusions offer a host of design variations at cost-effective rates, enabling its immense potential for modern industrial applications. They not only offer almost unlimited opportunities to create something novel but can also be recycled again and again without debasement of its inherent properties.
Aluminum expulsion is anything but difficult to work with when intricate shapes or profiles are intended. It is also helpful to incorporate gliding fit, groove, and tongue, self-tapping, press highlights in these extrusions, by uniquely designing these shapes. Therefore, it helps to quickly build the prototypes once the design is finalized. The variety of shapes is allowed by the custom aluminum extrusion cycle to chop down or dispense many machining and joining operations. Tooling costs are unobtrusive in correlation with different cycles, making it a cost-effective solution.

Types of Finishes to Enhance Your Custom Aluminum Extrusions
Aluminum is one of the most versatile and relatively budget-friendly metals. It has quite a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is seen that aluminum can accept a higher range of coatings. However, before you understand the different types of custom aluminum extrusions, let us understand why your finishing choice plays an important role.
- Finishes have a significant impact on improving corrosion resistance.
- Proper Finishes enhance the overall look of the aluminum extrusions.
Now let us understand the different types of custom aluminum extrusions finishes:
- Mechanical Finishes - Aluminum can be blasted, ground, or sanded. With the help of mechanical finishes, surface quality is improved, thereby preparing it for other finishes.
- Pretreatment - Aluminum is cleaned with alkaline or acidic materials, and then a pretreatment coating is applied on it so that it enhances the paint adhesion and helps in providing resistance against corrosion.
- Bright Dipping - In order to give a mirror finish to aluminum, extrusion can be bright-dipped into a special dip solution so that the profile can be anodized and thickened.
- Anodizing - Anodizing provides additional protection apart from the natural oxide film. With the help of an anodizing procedure, the aluminum can also accept vibrant colors.
- Liquid Paint - Liquid Coatings generally consist of volatile organic compounds, which are generally removed during the baking process. With the help of liquid paint, a uniform film thickness is applied to the extrusions.
- Powder Coating - Powder Coating is one of the best types of aluminum extrusion finishes as it does not contain any type of volatile organic compounds and is also applied as a solid, which fuses together to form the film.
Industries That Use Custom Aluminum Extrusion Solutions
Aluminum can be reused again and again without losing any of its inherent properties. Therefore, the benefits of using aluminum make it an exceptionally popular choice for all sorts of industries all around the globe.
Due to the natural resistance to corrosion, low weight, and high strength ratio of Aluminum products, they are the ideal choice for manufacturing in aerospace, marine, and automotive industries, along with other transportation manufacturing industries.
High conductivity of heat and electricity makes the use of custom aluminum extrusion products a seamless choice for computers, electronics, audio, and video systems. Due to its non-magnetic properties, aluminum tubing is also used to house interlaced coaxial cables and wires. Since it’s a readily available biocompatible material, every sector associated with healthcare uses parts and components made with high-quality raw materials and precision finishes.
Hence, with its incredible versatility, manufacturers can use custom aluminum extrusions to produce simple products or the ones with complex designs.
