What is aluminium threshold strip

The aluminium threshold strip is not a type of aluminium strip rolls as some people might imagine. It is actually a kind of T bar extruded aluminum profile used as a threshold between two adjoining rooms.

Regular alloys for aluminium metal strips, such as 1060, 1070, 3003 and so on, are not suitable to be made into aluminium threshold strips, for these alloys are not strong enough. Harder alloys like 6061 and 6063 become better candidates. These alloys can be heat treated, which greatly improves their mechanical properties. T3, T5 and T6 are the most popular tempers. The strip surface can be coated with various designs and colors by a special anodizing or powder coating process. Possible colors of an aluminium threshold strip include silver, gold, champagne, bronze, green, blue, black, white ect, almost any color you need to match your decoration style. The specification of such a strip are featured by thickness and length. Generally the thickness is 0.4mm and above, and length 2.4m, 2.5m, 2.7m, 3.0m or longer.
An aluminium threshold strip is featured by good wear&corrosion resistance, comfortable smoothness, elegant outlook and easy installation. Good wear and corrosion resistance is a natural advantage of all aluminium products, including aluminium metal strips. The aluminium element is so active that it reacts quickly to oxygen in the air during which aluminium oxide comes into being and functions as a protective layer against most corrosive elements. In addition, good toughness make it possible to process aluminium into strips of necessary thickness and bend the strips into desired shapes. The surface of aluminium strip gives a natural luxurious metal gloss. After being processed by color coating, mirror finishing or anodizing, the surface becomes even more smooth and elegant, but it’s usually treated by these steps after necessary cutting and drilling have been made. Sometimes holes are needed to hold bolts and screws which connect the strip to a fixed object.

Slitting of 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip

What kind of machine is used to make aluminum sheets into 1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip belts? Many people might think about a shearing device, but they are actually dealt with by a continuous slitting unit of a similar working principle to that of a shearing device. The difference lies in the point that there is no pause of shearing with a continuous slitting unit. Generally, the mother roll, namely, an  aluminum coil  to be slit, is placed. During the slitting process, the coil roll is divided into several belts which are further rolled into narrow aluminium strip rolls. The slitting method of both  1mm 2mm 4mm aluminium strip  or other aluminum strips can be divided into two types: a straight pull type and a loose sleeve type. The straight pull type refers to the method that aluminum strip rolls are kept in tension from being fed into the unwinding sail to being coiled by the coiling machine, and this production method is suitable for trimming and intermediate ...

Diamond Embossed Aluminum Sheet Application

The  diamond embossed aluminum sheet  refers to aluminium sheets with diamond patterns on the surface. In addition to 1000 series, 5005 and 3003 are frequently applied alloys as well. 5005  diamond embossed aluminum sheet s can be used for conductivity materials, cookware, instrument panels, electronic shells and building ornaments. Their anodized film proves to be brighter than that of 3003, and the color matches perfectly with that of 6063 aluminum alloy products. Generally speaking,  diamond aluminum checker plate s are sold by the unit of pieces. In international business the unit of metric ton is frequently used as well. Their thickness ranges from 1.7mm to 8mm, but those between 2mm and 7.75mm prove to be the most popular. The width is from 1010 to 1500, among which 1250 and 1500 are most frequently adopted. Embossed aluminum sheet s with different patterns usually match varied application scope. Five-bar and one-bar sheets are mostly used for anti-skid pu...

Embossed Aluminium Coil Patterns And Applications

图片
If you have ever used an escalator you might have noticed that there are partition panels respectively at the bottom and top of the escalator. These partitions are usually paved with  embossed aluminium sheet  coil that have a good pressure bearing capacity and are made of composite metals. As a matter of fact, there are various patterns and applications of embossed aluminium coil, and here we will give a simple introduction. 　　Patterns 　　Aluminum sheets with patterns on the surface is called embossed aluminum sheets or  aluminium tread plate . Pattern shapes include lentils, diamonds, round beans, and oblate mixed shapes. The market is most common in lentils. 　　Application 　　The aluminium tread plate has beautiful appearance, excellent anti-slip property, enhanced performances, and material-saving advantage in production. It is widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment, floor, machinery, shipbuilding and other fields. Generally speaking,...
