What surface treatments are available for Mastar's aluminum decorative profiles?
Mechanical Processing
Mechanical processing is a key step in enhancing the appearance of aluminum, including methods such as sandblasting, grinding, polishing, and buffing. These techniques can create smooth, rough, or chrome-plated surfaces, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and texture of the aluminum. Among these methods, polishing is the most commonly used to highlight the texture and gloss of extruded aluminum components, enhancing their visual quality.
- Sandblasting: Adjusts surface smoothness or roughness while removing potential contaminants.
- Grinding: Removes material using rotating abrasive tools to achieve desired tolerances.
- Polishing: Highlights the texture, gloss, and appearance of aluminum extrusions, creating a mirror-like finish.
- Buffing: Uses lightweight abrasives to improve the surface appearance of aluminum decorative components.
Pre-treatment Processes
Pre-treatment involves cleaning before coating, typically through chemical or electrolytic processes, commonly using chemical methods. It prevents surface contamination on aluminum, forming a barrier layer that enhances coating adhesion and corrosion resistance. While pre-treatment is just one part of aluminum processing, its role is crucial. Acid or alkali etching and cleaning of aluminum surfaces ensure that coatings or paints adhere firmly.
Anodizing
Anodizing is an electrochemical process used to enhance the appearance and durability of aluminum decorative profiles. Immersing aluminum profiles in an acidic electrolyte bath maintains their metallic luster and imparts durable, vibrant colors. The corrosion-resistant coating formed during this process makes anodized aluminum profiles highly suitable for various applications. Furthermore, the surface after anodizing becomes an integral part of the substrate, preventing peeling or flaking and allowing for additional surface coatings as needed. Our anodized aluminum finishes are available in multiple colors, detailed as follows:
Clear Satin Anodized
Champagne
Golden Bronze
Light Bronze
Medium Bronze
Dark Bronze
Deep Bronze
Black
Light Gold
Medium Gold
Dark Gold
Nickel
Brass
Sandalwood
Turquoise
Blue Green
Jade
Tomato
Wine
Burgundy
Brite Dip Clear
Black Dye
Satin Pewter
Brite Pewter
Satin Brushed
Brushed Brite
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a durable decorative surface treatment material that outlasts traditional paint. Similar to painting, powder coating requires pre-treatment of aluminum decorations. By melting dry plastic powder onto metal surfaces, it creates textured, matte, or glossy coatings. Mastar offers a variety of colors in powder coating processes suitable for aluminum decorations. Powder coating provides additional protection against corrosion, wear, and weathering for decorative elements.
Polyvinylidene Fluoride(PVDF)
PVDF coating is often confused with powder coating but differs significantly. PVDF is a resin-based liquid coating, whereas powder coating uses electrostatically charged powder. PVDF coatings are more durable than powder coatings, but the latter is more robust. Both require baking aluminum profiles with the coatings to ensure strong adhesion.
Sublimation
Sublimation is a transfer printing process where a thin film with a pattern wraps around profiles. By heating, the pattern is directly transferred onto extrusions, creating a permanent bond with aluminum decorations. This method can mimic wood grain and other surface patterns. Sublimation technology makes aluminum profiles resemble wood and is a rapidly growing and popular surface treatment method.
Different types of surface treatments vary in cost. Anodizing is the most expensive due to its excellent corrosion resistance and durability, suitable for demanding environments. Powder coating and PVDF coatings are also common choices: powder coating is known for its robustness, while PVDF coatings offer longer-lasting protection. When choosing specific finishes, it's essential to consider both budget and the environment where the aluminum decorations will be used to ensure optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
What are the commonly used aluminum alloy grades for Mastar's aluminum decorative profiles?
Mastar commonly uses aluminum alloys from the 6000 series for manufacturing extruded aluminum profiles. This series includes alloys such as 6063, 6061, 6005, 6082, and 6060. By adding magnesium and silicon, these alloys exhibit good elasticity and can be heat-treated, making them widely used in the production of aluminum profiles. Among them, the most commonly used are alloys 6063 and 6061.
6063
Alloy 6063 is a medium-strength material suitable for extrusions, particularly for structures with thin walls and small shapes. Its glossy surface makes it an ideal choice for architectural projects due to its high tensile strength, excellent machinability, and superior corrosion resistance. It is known as an architectural alloy. The increased silicon and magnesium content enhances its fluidity and durability. It can be welded and brazed, cold-worked, and shaped. It is also suitable for processes like anodizing, polishing, and powder coating, creating bright, protective, and vibrant coatings.
6061
Alloy 6061 is similar to 6063 but offers higher strength, excellent corrosion resistance, stress resistance, crack resistance, good formability, and weldability. It is used for structural applications and shares similar weldability, corrosion resistance, and coating properties with 6063. However, compared to 6063, 6061 requires more force and careful handling for cold forming.
What are the optimal characteristics of aluminum decorative profiles?
- Easy installation: Installation should be simple and achievable without specialized knowledge.
- Durable: Long-lasting durability reduces maintenance and replacement costs.
- Strong and tensile: Sufficient strength to withstand extreme conditions and impacts, extending lifespan.
- Excellent finish: High-quality surface treatment enhances aesthetic value and provides effective protection.
- Cost-effective: Should be budget-friendly at purchase and deliver value-for-money performance.
