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.
