What is the aluminum extrusion woodgrain process
Aluminum Wood Grain Finish is a surface treatment technology that gives aluminum alloy profiles the texture of wood. This treatment is designed to give aluminum profiles a look and texture similar to wood while maintaining metal properties through a specific process. The following is a detailed explanation of wood grain aluminum surface treatment:
Principle of treatment
Aluminum woodgrain finishes are usually based on the principle of high-temperature heat penetration. On the basis of powder coating or electrophoretic painting, by heating and pressurizing. The wood grain texture pattern on the transfer paper or transfer film is quickly transferred and penetrated into the already sprayed or electrophoresed profiles.
Common colors:
Wood grain aluminum has a variety of common colors, such as ash, yellow sandalwood, golden oak, silver silk white wood, teak, antique wood color, etc.
Advantages:
1. anti-aging and fading: It has good anti-aging and fading properties, and can keep the bright wood grain effect for a long time.
2. Strong corrosion and weather resistance: It can also show strong corrosion resistance in unfavorable climatic environment and coastal areas.
3. Good three-dimensional effect: wood grain aluminum can present clear, natural wood grain texture. It has a better three-dimensional effect and is ideal for replacing traditional wood.
Processing flow:
The general treatment process of wood grain aluminum includes:
1. substrate spraying or electrophoresis: first of all, powder spraying or electrophoresis painting treatment is carried out on aluminum profiles to provide a good foundation for wood grain transfer.
2. film: apply transfer paper or transfer film with wood grain pattern on the aluminum profiles after spraying or electrophoresis.
3. Baking: Put the aluminum profile after filming into the oven and bake it at 190-200℃, so that the ink on the transfer paper will sublimate and transfer to the coating of the aluminum profile.
4. De-filming: After baking, remove the transfer paper or transfer film from the aluminum profile.
5. Packing: finally, the wood grain aluminum is packed for transportation and storage.
Through the above treatment process
Aluminum profiles are able to obtain the appearance and texture similar to that of wood, while maintaining the excellent performance of metal profiles.
It is important to note that the technology is new and therefore it can be expensive. It is not recommended if you have a low budget.
This treatment technology has been widely used in aluminum fence, aluminum decking market to meet consumers’ pursuit of personalized and natural home environment.
