When the aluminium material is pushed through a die and it comes out in the same shape as the die, this is called extrusion. Aluminium can be extruded in different shapes such as Solid (like an ingot) Hollow (like an aluminium tube) Semi-hollow (like rivets) Depending on the shape of the die and the requirement of…

What is Aluminium hydroxide used to treat? Aluminium Hydroxide is also known as Aluminic Acid or at times as alum and needs to be commercially manufactured using the Bayer procedure. The process involves dissolving bauxite in a solution of sodium hydroxide at 270 degree Celsius. Once the procedure is completed, waste removal is carried out,…

Aluminium is a metal that has more natural corrosion resistance compared to other metals. Giving it a coating enhances the corrosion resistance and improves the aesthetics of the metal. Aluminium extrusions can be given many types of finishing – Painting, Anodizing or Powder Coating. Powder Coating is a method of protection of the aluminium by…

Aluminium is one of the ubiquitous materials seen and used all around us. This silvery-white, lightweight metal which is soft and malleable was discovered comparatively late unlike other metals in just 1825 by Danish chemist and physicist Hans Christian Ørsted. With an atomic number in the periodic table of 13, Aluminium is the most abundant…

It is not enough that office spaces are just functional. They need to be aesthetically pleasing as well. Design empathy has to be a crucial component in construction and it has to be accommodated without compromising on operational elements. Exactly for this reason we see more and more office spaces deploying aluminium for various uses.…

Aluminium is one of the most abundantly available elements in earth’s crust and infinitely recyclable. You may wonder why it continues to be expensive. This is largely because of the huge quantum of electricity used in the extraction process. Aluminium ore is called bauxite. Bauxite can be considered an impure aluminium oxide. The major impurities…

Understanding aluminium extrusion process Aluminium extrusion is a process by which a billet made of an aluminium alloy is forced to pass through a die with a particular cross-sectional profile. The extruded shapes differ according to the die shape of the cross-sectional profile. They could be of three main kinds; a) Solid, with no enclosed…

The world has its eyes set on a circular carbon economy as it heads towards 2030 which is the deadline set by the UN for sustainable development goals across industries. The aspiration is to achieve a closed loop system that applies the four R’s – reduce, reuse, recycle, remove. This is an approach that focuses…
