Is the aluminium alloy picture frame strong enough?
Aluminium alloy picture frame is very strong. It is strong enough for everyday use. Why can it be so strong? This is because it has these following advantages:
1. Aluminium picture frame’s alloying elements:
The main alloying elements include copper, silicon, magnesium and zinc. The addition of these alloying elements can significantly increase the strength and hardness of aluminium profiles.
Aluminium alloy has low density but relatively high strength, close to or exceeding that of high quality steel. This makes aluminium picture frames have excellent load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight.
2. Manufacturing process of aluminium picture frames:
The manufacturing process of aluminium picture frames is aluminium extrusion. After obtaining the aluminium profile material through aluminium extrusion, it is CNC machined to make it join into a picture frame. Aluminium frames that are welded or stamped are stronger. But this will also increase its cost.
3. Surface treatment:
The strength of aluminium picture frame can be enhanced by surface treatment. For example, powder coating or anodising. These surface treatment processes can make its surface get protection. In the face of sharp objects scratching or collision, these surface coatings can play a protective role.
4. Specification and wall thickness:
The specifications and wall thickness of aluminium photo frames are also important factors that affect their strength. Aluminium photo frames are available in a variety of thicknesses such as 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm and 1.2mm.
Below are aluminium picture frame products from Hugh Aluminium:
The greater the wall thickness, the greater the weight-bearing strength of the aluminium profile. For example, aluminium profiles with 0.6mm wall thickness have less load-bearing capacity and are suitable for light components, while aluminium profiles with 0.8mm wall thickness are suitable for some medium loads.
5. Strength of aluminium profiles:
According to the EU. There are certain standards for the strength of aluminium profiles, such as the yield strength of hard aluminium profiles is ≥110MPa, and the tensile strength is ≥240MPa. These standards ensure that aluminium picture frames have enough strength to meet the daily use.
To sum up
Aluminium picture frame has high strength and stability. It can meet the strength requirements for daily use. However, when choosing a picture frame, we need to buy it according to the size of the frame.
