Do aluminum profiles rust?

Aluminum profiles do not rust. Since it is obtained by extruding aluminum alloy, it is difficult to corrode in the natural environment. However, under the influence of the environment, discoloration and deterioration will occur for a long time.

This is mainly caused by the following factors:

1. the influence of oxygen and water:

Aluminum and water react to produce hydrogen and hydroxide, and generate aluminum oxide film on the surface, which makes the aluminum turn into a kind of dark grey, the thickness of the aluminum oxide film determines the stability of the color and quality.

2. The influence of grease and dirt:

If there are grease and dirt on the surface of aluminum profile, it will not only hinder the reaction between oxygen and water and aluminum, but also further corrode the aluminum profile.

3. Influence of chemical substances:

Some chemical substances, such as organic acids, organic solvents and alkalis, will accelerate the oxidation process of aluminum profiles.

Solutions for discoloration and deterioration of aluminum profiles

In order to maintain the appearance and performance of aluminum profiles, the following measures need to be taken:

1. prevent the erosion of water and dirt, keep dry and clean.

2. form a strong and solid aluminum oxide film on the surface of aluminum profiles to protect them from further corrosion.

3. choose surface treatment methods with corrosion resistance, such as anodizing, spraying, coating, etc., so as to improve the quality and life of aluminum profiles.

Advantages of using aluminum profiles

1. Aluminum profiles are lightweight, only 1/4 of the weight of copper and steel, and easy to cut and process.

2. Aluminum profiles have good thermal conductivity and are suitable for a variety of harsh environments.

3. Aluminum profiles are corrosion-resistant and will not rust.

4. Aluminum profiles are rich in color and can show rich colors and effects after surface treatment.

5. aluminum profiles can be recycled, highlighting the unique advantages in the era of sustainable development.

In summary

Aluminum profile can be said to be a very durable building material, which will not rust. But discoloration and deterioration can occur. In order to maintain its appearance and performance, attention needs to be paid to dryness and cleanliness, and appropriate surface treatment methods need to be adopted.
