What is the difference between extruded, electrophoretic and sprayed aluminum? INTOP METAL explains. In the market, there are many treatment methods for aluminum due to different needs and uses. Among them, extrusion, electrophoresis and spraying are the three most common surface treatment processes, each of which has unique characteristics and uses.
Extruded aluminum is a physical processing method. It uses an extruder to press aluminum rods into aluminum profiles of various shapes and specifications at high temperatures. Extruded aluminum has the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in construction, transportation, electronics and other fields. Its production process is simple, efficient, and the product shapes are diverse, which can meet different needs.
Electrophoretic aluminum is a chemical treatment method. By using the coated aluminum as an anode and placing it in an electrolytic cell containing electrophoretic paint, a uniform and dense coating is formed on the surface of the aluminum after power is turned on. Electrophoretic aluminum has the characteristics of uniform coating, strong adhesion, and good corrosion resistance, and is especially suitable for products with high requirements for corrosion resistance. However, the electrophoretic process has high requirements for equipment and technology, and the cost is relatively high.
Sprayed aluminum is a surface decoration method. It uses spraying equipment to evenly spray the paint on the surface of aluminum to form a decorative coating. Sprayed aluminum has the advantages of rich colors and good decorative effects, and is widely used in construction, furniture, home appliances and other fields. The spraying process is relatively simple and the cost is low, but the coating uniformity and adhesion may be affected by human operation.
The above is an introduction to the differences between extrusion, electrophoresis and spraying aluminum. Extrusion, electrophoresis and spraying are three different methods of aluminum surface treatment. They each have their own characteristics and are suitable for different products and needs.
