Can you really distinguish between good and bad aluminum materials?

Aluminum materials on the market are also classified as good or bad. Different qualities of aluminum materials have varying degrees of purity, color, and chemical composition. So, how can we distinguish between good and bad aluminum material quality?

 
Which quality is better between raw aluminum and mature aluminum?
Raw aluminum is less than 98% aluminum, with brittle and hard properties, and can only be cast by sand casting; Mature aluminum is over 98% aluminum, with soft properties that can be rolled or punched into various containers. Comparing the two, naturally mature aluminum is better, because raw aluminum is often recycled aluminum, collected from broken aluminum pots and spoons and remelted. Mature aluminum is relatively pure aluminum, light and thin.

 
Which is better, primary aluminum or recycled aluminum?
Primary aluminum is pure aluminum extracted from aluminum ore and bauxite obtained through aluminum mining, and then refined through a series of processes such as electrolytic cells. It has the characteristics of strong toughness, comfortable hand feel, and smooth surface. Recycled aluminum is aluminum extracted from recycled scrap aluminum, characterized by surface spots, easy deformation and rusting, and rough hand feel. Therefore, the quality of primary aluminum is definitely better than that of recycled aluminum!

 
The distinction between good and bad aluminum materials
·Chemical degree of aluminum material
The chemical degree of aluminum directly affects the quality of aluminum. Some businesses, in order to reduce raw material costs, add a large amount of scrap aluminum in aluminum production and processing, which can lead to substandard chemical composition of industrial aluminum and seriously endanger safety engineering.

 
·Aluminum thickness identification
The thickness of the profiles is roughly the same, around 0.88mm, and the width is also roughly similar. However, if the material is mixed with some other substances inside, its weight may also deviate. By reducing the thickness of aluminum, production time, chemical reagent consumption, and costs can be reduced, resulting in a significant decrease in the corrosion resistance and hardness of aluminum.
·Aluminum manufacturer scale

 
Legitimate aluminum manufacturers have professional production machinery and equipment, and skilled production masters to operate. We are different from some manufacturers on the market. We have multiple aluminum extrusion production lines ranging from 450 tons to 3600 tons, multiple aluminum quenching furnaces, over 20 anodizing production lines, and two wire drawing, mechanical polishing, and sandblasting production lines each; The subsequent deep processing of aluminum profiles has advanced CNC equipment and professional technical personnel, professional production technology and reliable quality, which have gained deep recognition from the industry and consumers.
The quality of aluminum directly affects the user experience, safety, and service life of aluminum products in the later stage. Therefore, when choosing products designed with aluminum, we must ensure that the products use high-quality aluminum!
