In our daily life, from the kitchen ceiling to the edge lines of the tiles, from the floor transition strips to the corner guards, many "seemingly insignificant" decorative lines are actually inseparable from one key word: aluminum alloy extrusion process. But you know what? These exquisite lines are actually "squeezed" out!
What is the extrusion process?
Simply put, aluminum alloy extrusion is like when we make cookies, we put the dough into a mold and press out different shaped spouts to create beautiful patterns.
- Heating An Aluminum Rod: Heat a cylindrical aluminum billet to about 480-520°C, using a 6063 aluminum alloy material, so that it is soft but not melting.
- Extrusion Molding: hot aluminum is pushed into the mold by high pressure to form L-shaped, circular arc, triangle and other required line sections.
- Cooling And Straightening: The line just extrched needs to be cooled quickly, and then straightened to ensure that it is smooth and straight.
- Cut To Regular Size As Needed (eg 2.5m, 2.7m, 3m).
- surface treatment: anodized oxidation, sandblasting, drawing, electrophoresis and other processes can be selected to enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
- High precision: die decided to shape, small error, suitability is strong arbitrary.
- Any shape: U, T, L, circular arc, alien... Can "squeeze" out.
- Production Efficiency: mass production, is suitable for engineering and retail channels mechanics.
- Performance Better: after extrusion aluminum high strength, not changeful form.
- Color Flexible: subsequent anodic oxidation, coating, wood grain surface process is optional.
This process is called - Hot Extrusion (Hot Extrusion), this step is very important Aluminum extrusion (Aluminum Extrusion) is a heated aluminum rod through a specific mold (extrusion mold), "press" into various shapes of the section process. We can think of it like - "the toothpaste from toothpaste tube extrusion, only toothpaste with 500 ° C high temperature aluminum, and toothpaste mouth shape, it is our good 'sideline repair mold design."
"Extrusion art" in life - the use of extruded aluminum metal decorative lines after formation.
- Does the CERAMIC tile edge of your bathroom have a silver metal edge?
- Does the ceiling of the kitchen have a neat border closure?
- Does the corner of the office have a non-deformable, anti-knock aluminum corner guard?
These lines, almost all from the same process: extrusion aluminium profile. That is to say, we often use the tile edge line, right Angle, corner protection, triangle edge Angle and so on, which is produced.
Extrusion product advantages
▶ ️STRAIGHT EDGE TRIM (L-shaped edge)
Application scenarios: Ceramic tile edge, wall corner and sink edge
Advantage: Neat convergent, avoid ceramic tile section bare, enhance spatial straightness
▶ Corner protection strip(Round edge trim)
Applicatian scenarios: exterior Angle, Angle children room, kitchen metope present
Advantage: protect the corner from the collision damage, fruity and security, visual more downy
▶ ️ Triangular floor transition strip
Application scenarios: stair edge, wall joints, ground grooves
Advantage: beautiful transition, convergent tightly, some models still can rise to prevent slippery or drainage effect
Each line is a perfect balance of technology and aesthetics
We use 6063-T5 aluminum alloy - known for its medium strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding extrudability. Commonly used in architectural applications such as window frames, curtain walls, and decorative trims, it ensures both durability and visual appeal.
With precise extrusion and fine anodizing, each profile not only protects tile edges but also enhances the overall space design.
At Hero Metal, we are committed to quality, innovation, and style - delivering trim solutions that are both functional and elegant.
