Hat channel aluminum trim serves as a substitute for wood and steel, offering comparable strength and durability while providing enhanced versatility and an attractive finish. It also acts as a base for water diversion and contributes to thermal efficiency in heating and cooling systems, as well as to the overall structural appearance.
Round aluminum channel trim
Round aluminum channel trim, similar in appearance to c channel but with thicker walls, resembles an aluminum rod. While it has a range of applications, its primary use is as a housing for led light strips.
Trim coil
Aluminum trim coil is a thin sheet of aluminum coated with polyester, providing protection against heat and moisture damage. Made from 0.019 gauge aluminum, it offers the right balance of rigidity and flexibility, making it easy to shape and install.
Billet
The extrusion of aluminum trim starts with a billet, which is an intermediate casting intended for subsequent processing. Billets can be made from different metals, with aluminum being the most frequently used. These billets are cast from ingots, and the aluminum alloys commonly employed for this purpose are 6061 and 6053.
Die
A critical element in aluminum trim production is the profile or die shape, crafted from precision-machined steel. While standard dies for aluminum trim are typically available from manufacturers' stock, custom and unique profiles can be designed by engineers as needed.
Heating
Before extrusion, the billet is preheated to enhance its pliability and malleability. This preparation involves heating the billet to 800°f (426°c). The heating process makes the billet softer and more flexible, though it does not melt. Essentially, this step ensures the billet can be easily shaped and formed.
Cradle
Once the billet is prepped, it is placed into a cradle that secures it for extrusion. The cradle ensures the billet remains stable before it is pushed into the extrusion press by the ram. A dummy block, attached to the ram, presses against the billet to prevent any of the heated metal from leaking backward during the process.
Extrusion
As the ram moves, it applies pressure to the billet, compressing it against the die, causing it to elongate and expand until it presses against the press walls. To enhance the durability and lifespan of the die, liquid nitrogen is used to cool the billet, preventing the formation of oxides on the extruded shape.
Temperature check
As the aluminum trim exits the die, its temperature is taken to assist in maintaining the speed of the extrusion. Each aluminum alloy, 6063, 6463, 6063a, 6101, 6005a, and 6061, has a different exit temperature that has to be maintained to ensure the quality of the final product.
Runout table
As the extrusion emerges from the die, it is directed onto a runout table equipped with a puller to guide it along. Fans positioned along the length of the table provide cooling to the extrusion as it moves. Once the extrusion reaches the desired length, it is either cut or sheared and then moved to the cooling table.
Stretching
After the extrusion has cooled adequately, it is transferred to the stretcher. This process straightens the extrusion and enhances its hardness. Stretching also helps relieve internal stresses caused by the high pressure and temperature during extrusion. It’s normal for there to be a slight variation in the extrusion’s dimensions as a result of this process.
Final cutting and heat treatment
Once the parts have been properly stretched and treated, they are cut to the specified lengths for shipping. To further enhance their properties, the cut pieces are subjected to an aging oven, a recommended process for aluminum alloy 6061. Additionally, for specific applications, the finished aluminum trim may receive additional treatments to improve its appearance and provide extra protection.
Impact extrusion
Impact extrusion is like cold forming where aluminum is extruded by impacting it with a die. Parts are formed at high speed by the force of a few short strokes. Unlike standard extrusion that is performed horizontally using a hydraulic press, impact extrusion is performed vertically to create a single part.
Assess spatial requirements and environmental conditions
Identify the areas where the tile trim will be installed, considering the specific requirements of the environment, such as humidity and frequency of water exposure. For instance, in bathrooms or kitchens, the trim needs to have good waterproof and moisture-resistant properties.
Measure the thickness and length of the tiles
Use a tape measure to gauge the thickness of the tiles and the length of the edges to be covered, ensuring that the purchased tile trim is suitable in size for the tile edges, providing adequate coverage and fit.
Select the appropriate trim type and material
Choose the tile trim type based on the color of the tiles and the interior decoration style, while also considering the surface treatment of the aluminum (such as anodizing, painting, brushing, etc.) to meet aesthetic and durability requirements.
Purchase and inspect samples
If possible, obtain trim samples to compare them with the tiles on-site, ensuring color and style compatibility. Inspect the quality and craftsmanship of the samples to ensure they are free of defects.
Seek professional advice
Before making a purchasing decision, it’s advisable to consult with designers or installation experts, especially for complex spaces or unique design requirements. Professional advice can help make more suitable choices.
How to Install Aluminium Trim Profiles?
Preliminary
Before beginning the installation, ensure that the installation surface is clean, flat, and free of dust. Any impurities can affect the adhesion quality of the aluminum tile trim. Prepare the necessary tools, such as measuring tools, marking pens, a caulking gun, a saw, or a cutting machine (for adjusting trim length), as well as suitable adhesive or double-sided tape.
Measuring and cutting
Measure the installation area again to ensure that the length of the aluminum tile trim matches the installation position perfectly. As mentioned earlier, use the appropriate tools to cut the aluminum trim, ensuring that each piece of trim fits precisely into its position.
Application adhesives
Apply a uniform coat of specialized aluminum adhesive or use high-quality double-sided tape on the back of the trim. Ensure that the adhesive is evenly distributed to provide maximum adhesion strength. For situations requiring additional fastening strength, consider using small screws or nails at the fixation points of the trim to enhance the securing effect.
Fixed aluminum tile trim
Gently press the trim onto the predetermined position, ensuring that it is parallel and aligned with the edge of the tile. Use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the trim, aiding in better securing and adhering it to the substrate.
