What is Aluminium Extrusion???
Aluminium extrusion is a technique used to transform aluminium alloy into
objects with a definitive cross-sectional profile for a wide range of uses. The
extrusion process makes the most of aluminium’s unique combination of
physical characteristics. Its malleability allows it to be easily machined and
cast, and yet aluminium is one third the density and stiffness of steel so the
resulting products offer strength and stability, particularly when alloyed with
other metals.
‫ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ‬
What is Powder Coating???
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that has become extremely popular
since its introduction in North America over in the 1960s. Representing over
15% of the total industrial finishing market, powder is used on a wide array of
products. More and more companies specify powder coatings for a highquality, durable finish, allowing for maximized production, improved
efficiencies, and simplified environmental compliance. Used as functional
(protective) and decorative finishes, powder coatings are available in an
almost limitless range of colours and textures, and technological
advancements have resulted in excellent performance properties.

What is Anodizing???
Anodizing is an electro-chemical process that converts the metal surface into
a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Aluminium is
ideally suited to anodizing, although other nonferrous metals, such as
magnesium and titanium, also can be anodized.
The anodic oxide structure originates from the aluminium substrate and is
composed entirely of aluminium oxide. This aluminium oxide is not applied to
the surface like paint or plating, but is fully integrated with the underlying
aluminium substrate, so it cannot chip or peel. It has a highly ordered, porous
structure that allows for secondary processes such as colouring and sealing.
Anodizing is accomplished by immersing the aluminium into an acid
electrolyte bath and passing an electric current through the medium. A
cathode is mounted to the inside of the anodizing tank; the aluminium acts as
an anode, so that oxygen ions are released from the electrolyte to combine
with the aluminium atoms at the surface of the part being anodized. Anodizing
is, therefore, a matter of highly controlled oxidation—the enhancement of a
naturally occurring phenomenon.
