The aluminum corner is a profile in which there are no internal cavities. The material is bent at right angles, and in cross section resembles the Russian letter “G”. Due to the plasticity of the products, the process of manufacturing an aluminum corner is much simpler than steel.
The design is made both with the same sizes of shelves, and with different. Therefore, profiles are divided into symmetrical and heterosexual.
Most often, the aluminum corner is made from alloys of grades D16, AD31T5, AD31T1, AD31. The latter alloy has excellent anticorrosive properties, electrical conductivity and ductility. Therefore, the most popular is the aluminum corner, which is made of material AD31. Products are widely used in construction, furniture industry and electrical industry. For manufactured corners, the width of the shelf varies from 8 mm to 12 cm, and the thickness from 1 to 8 millimeters.
In addition, the aluminum corner is classified by strength, hardening method, type of protective coating and accuracy of execution. It should be noted that certain types of products can be made with rounded corners both at the edges and at the base of the shelves. This form may in some cases be very convenient.
Among other types of non-ferrous rolled products, anodized aluminum corner is the most popular and universal material. It is used in almost all spheres of human activity, from aircraft manufacturing to the manufacture of household appliances and tools.
This is due to the excellent properties of the material. The perforated aluminum corner has high strength, ease of installation, long service life and wear resistance with light weight. It can be operated at low temperatures and high humidity. However, the main advantage of the material is its low cost and minimal operating costs.
Products are very popular in the construction industry. The aluminum corner is used in two directions: for the manufacture of load-bearing structures and as a decorative element. The material is used for the installation of ventilated hinged facades. With its help, they build small trade pavilions and constructions for advertising purposes, produce exhibition equipment, windows and doors.
Today it is difficult to imagine the design of modern office buildings without a corner. The material is used to equip the finishing surfaces, as a docking element, to protect drywall, during the installation of sliding wardrobes and in other cases. The main task that the aluminum anodized corner performs is corrosion protection.
In addition, this variety has a presentable appearance, has a good color scheme and does not require additional processing and painting. Thus, the aluminum profile perfectly combines decorative and structural functions.
