Aluminum profiles are the result of aluminum being manufactured by extrusion into various shapes and sizes. In this method, aluminum is pushed through molds under high pressure to form long materials with desired cross-sections. Thanks to their lightness, corrosion resistance, and easy formability, aluminum profiles are used in a wide range of applications. For example, they are frequently preferred in building construction, automotive manufacturing, machinery production, and furniture making. You can review the reasons for choosing aluminum profiles in the table below.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Lightweight | Aluminum is much lighter than steel, making it easy to transport and install. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Provides protection against environmental effects thanks to its oxide layer. |
| Thermal Conductivity | Preferred in applications such as heaters and coolers due to its excellent heat conductivity. |
| Electrical Conductivity | Ideal for use in power transmission lines, as it is the second-best conductor after copper. |
| Easy to Work With | Easy to cut, shape, and weld. |
Types of Aluminum Profiles
Aluminum profiles stand out in modern industry for their versatility and adaptability. These profiles play critical roles in various industries, benefiting from aluminum’s lightness, corrosion resistance, and easy formability. Below, we detail the most common types—such as flat, round, square, and T-shaped aluminum profiles—and their specific advantages in different applications. This will help you better understand the wide range of uses in design and manufacturing processes.
Aluminum Rod Profiles
Aluminum rod profiles are products with circular, square, or rectangular cross-sections, featuring aluminum’s workability, lightness, and durability. They are widely used in applications that require mechanical strength and an aesthetic appearance.
Aluminum Box Profiles
Aluminum box profiles, usually with square or rectangular cross-sections, are versatile aluminum profiles used in construction, automotive, machinery, and more. Combining aluminum’s lightness, corrosion resistance, and high strength, these profiles offer ideal solutions for both structural and aesthetic needs.
Aluminum T Profiles
Aluminum T profiles, named for their T-shaped cross-section, are ideal for applications requiring high strength and aesthetic appearance. While maintaining aluminum’s lightweight, corrosion resistance, and easy formability, the T-shape gives it extra structural stability.
Aluminum L Profiles
Aluminum L profiles, which have an “L”-shaped cross-section, are widely used for a variety of applications. They are especially preferred for corner connections and edge supports. With aluminum’s lightness, corrosion resistance, and easy machinability, L profiles offer both structural strength and an attractive appearance.
Aluminum Round Profiles
Aluminum round profiles, known for their circular cross-section, are highly versatile and used in a wide variety of applications. With their lightness, corrosion resistance, and easy machinability, they are chosen for everything from industrial uses to decorative purposes.
Aluminum Tube Profiles
Aluminum tube profiles, which may be circular or oval in cross-section, are commonly used for carrying liquids or gases, structural supports, and various mechanical applications. Their lightness, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability make them a material of choice across many industries.
Aluminum Mosquito Net Profiles
Aluminum mosquito net profiles are specially designed aluminum materials that form the frame of screen systems installed on windows, doors, and balconies. They are usually produced by extrusion and can come in different shapes and sizes.
Aluminum Profile Prices
Aluminum profile prices vary according to supply and demand on the London Metal Exchange. At the beginning of 2024, the price of aluminum per kilogram in Turkey ranged between $4 and $6. Please contact us for up-to-date and accurate pricing information.
