Benefits of extruded aluminum for outdoor furniture

1. Light weight: Aluminum is about 1/3 the weight of sand-cast or die-cast aluminum, making aluminum extrusions easier to handle.

2. Reflective: The surface can be polished or brushed to produce reflective or matching components, making aluminum extrusions attractive.

3. Flexibility: Aluminum combines strength and flexibility to bend under load or spring back from impact, leading to the use of extruded components in automotive crash management systems.

4. Corrosion resistance: Aluminum extrusions have excellent corrosion resistance. They do not rust and the aluminum surface is protected by its own natural oxides. A protection that can be enhanced by a powder coating.

5. Strong: Aluminum profiles can be made as strong as needed for most applications, and due to the nature of the extrusion process, strength can be concentrated where it is really needed by including different wall thicknesses and internal reinforcement in the profile design. Extrusions are particularly well suited for cold weather applications because aluminum becomes stronger as the temperature drops. 

6. High strength and weight material: The unique combination of high strength and low weight of aluminum extrusions makes them ideal for outdoor furniture.

7. Sustainability: Aluminum can be recycled and reused an unlimited number of times without degrading performance.

8. Low Maintenance: Due to the construction of the frame and the materials used, outdoor furniture will not rust, rot or peel. You can be sure not to stain any surfaces, plus they will last for years and years of use in any weather.

9. Easy storage and transportation: Aluminum frames may be very strong, but they're also very light! This makes it easier for you to move your furniture around and rearrange your lounge area while you're on the move. In addition, much of the filter paper outdoor furniture is stackable, making storage and transportation even easier.

Comparing aluminum alloys for aluminum machining

图片
CNC machining is a versatile manufacturing process that is applicable to a wide range of materials. However, the process is more commonly used in the manufacture of products using aluminum, known as aluminum machining. Aluminum machining is a process that involves the use of aluminum in the manufacture of products because aluminum comes in a variety of grades. Aluminum is highly machinable and relatively inexpensive, and the different types of aluminum alloys are suitable for a myriad of machining applications. This includes rigid building components, aerospace parts manufacturing, and more.   In fact, the different types of aluminum alloys offer some unique and distinct advantages when used for machining. They offer a wide range of options, providing you with tremendous flexibility when starting a machining project. However, narrowing down the best aluminum alloy for the job also becomes more difficult. This guide attempts to provide a quick comparison of the five most common mach...

The Most You Need to Know about Aluminium for Machining

图片
Alum 6061 Aluminum 6061 is one of the most widely used alloy materials in machining due to its price, strength and versatility. Though Aluminum 2024 has a higher strength to weight ratio, it is not as corrosion resistant. The ability of  aluminum 6061  to withstand corrosion makes it economical because it doesn’t require finishing. Once exposed to the atmosphere, it develops a thin protective layer that protects it from surface rust. The combination of corrosion resistance and low weight make it an economical material to use in short production runs because parts can be created faster. In addition, it is chemical resistant and easy to machine. Parts that require multiple processes, such as machining and then welding, benefit from Aluminum 6061 because in addition to being easy to machine it is also weldable. Aluminum 6061 Tempers There are a variety of tempers for 6061 aluminum alloy, including: ►6061-F: No special treatment ►6061-O: Annealed, good for forming ►6061-T1: C...

How to Reduce CNC Machining Costs

图片
When it comes to CNC machining, planning is critical. Often, CNC machining designs and projects can become unnecessarily complex - and as with almost everything in life, time is money. At Liangyin, we understand that some designs require precise details that can't be simplified, but if you want to reduce costs and have the design flexibility to change design features, this blog post is for you. By understanding the CNC machining process and the factors that affect price, you can reduce the cost of your machining project while maintaining or improving functionality. Manufacturability is the level of complexity of the manufacturing process required to make a given part. In essence, the higher the manufacturability, the lower the cost. This blog post will review some of the key ways you can reduce the cost of  CNC machined parts  and enclosures.   Material Costs In machining, the harder the material, the more difficult it is to machine. This is because we must use less time ...
