Aluminium Extrusions
The key benefits of procuring high quality aluminium extrusions from Jindal are manifold :
- Light weight - Aluminium weighing one third the weight of iron, steel, copper or brass and hence becomes easier to handle and transport.
- Strength - Aluminium extrusions can be made as strong as the purpose demands.
- Strength-to-Weight Ratio – The combined property of strength and lightness in aluminium makes it a key ingredient of many industrial applications.
- Corrosion Resistant – Aluminium provides a natural protective layer against environmental, chemical and physical corrosive agents and hence, can never rust.
- Heat Conduction – Aluminium conducts heat better on a cost and weight basis.
- Electric Conduction – Aluminium has better conductivity over copper per unit weight and is universally used for power consumption.
- Wide Acceptance – Extruded aluminium is widely used in the food packaging and chemical industry.
- Ease of Fabrication – Aluminium allows the extrusion of almost any shape that can be fabricated using all conventional methods.
- Ease of Assembly Design – Aluminium extrusions can be designed for easy assembly with other parts and even their surfaces can be mated to match up for easy joining.
- Joinability – Welding, Soldering, Brazing are few methods employed to join extrusions. Bolts, rivets, clips and adhesives are also frequently used for this purpose.
- Complex, Integral Shapes – Custom designed extrusions can be produced in intricate shapes which otherwise, would have to be created joining several individual parts.
- Uniform Quality – Aluminium assures reliability and uniformity in quality and hence minimises rejection rates, corrective fabrication and production downtime.
- Cost Effective – The tools used in extrusion are inexpensive compared to other production methods.
