Aluminum Extrusions Instead of Wood?

This aluminum stair rail has the appearance of wood.

Aluminum can serve as a replacement for wood in a variety of different projects. Doors, windows, cabinets, and building exteriors can all be given the appearance of wood.

So how do extrusion manufacturers create this pleasant wood effect on their aluminum profiles?

There are two processes, used consecutively, to create the look.

Powder Coating – One of the most common types of aluminum finishes.
Sublimation – Used to imprint patterns after powder coating.
After completing these processes you now have a replacement for wood that gives you all the benefits of aluminum extrusions.

Below we discuss these processes in more detail.

The 2 Processes Used to Create the Wood Effect
As mentioned above, manufacturers put extrusions through two consecutive processes to create the wood texture – powder coating and sublimation.

The First Process: Powder Coating

The powder coating process can be divided into three steps:

Base Coat – Manufacturers apply a base coat of powder to the aluminum extrusions. The powder is electrostatically charged to enhance adhesion.
Curing – The profiles are placed in a curing oven. Typically they’re kept in the oven for about 10 minutes, at temperatures of around 200 degrees Celsius.
Cool Down – The profiles are removed from the curing oven and allowed to cool down. Once they’re fully cooled, it’s time for the sublimation process.
The Second Process: Sublimation
The sublimation process has four primary steps:

Film Wrapping – A film with the decorative pattern (In this case, wood grain) is wrapped around the aluminum profile.
Air Removal – All air is removed from the space between the film and the profile. This way the film stays firm against the coated aluminum.
Curing – Wrapped extrusions are placed into a curing oven. As they heat up, the wood grain pattern gets transferred from the film to the aluminum.
Cool Down – Extrusions are pulled out of the oven and the film is removed. At this point, the pattern has been fully transferred onto the aluminum profiles. They are allowed to cool down.
After powder coating and sublimation, the extrusions can now be shipped.

Incorporating Aluminum Extrusions into Your Project
Aluminum extrusions can be designed as complex interlocking shapes. The wood effect gives them a nice, natural look. Now you can design products that have a nice, natural look and all the benefits of aluminum.

At Gabrian, we provide custom aluminum extrusion and finishing services through our partners based in India.

If you are considering wood-look extrusions, it is most cost-effective to have the profiles extruded locally in India and then finished at our finishing partner, which is also in India.

We can provide a comprehensive quote for extruding, finishing, and any minor assembly operations. The wood-look finish comes with a 10-year guarantee for external applications.

Wood Grain Aluminum Profiles Introduction:

1. It has been nearly ten years since the transfer printing of decorative aluminum profiles with wood grain in China. It is precisely because the wood grain aluminum profiles have a variety of imitative wood grain color patterns and ecological effects that have been favored by people. The transfer printing of wood grain aluminum profiles is in the ascendant, which is widely used in various high-end civil building decoration, as well as the indoor bathroom doors and furniture of hotels. There are two ways to deal with the wood grain on the surface of aluminum profile: one is heat transfer printing technology, which is characterized by clear and realistic wood grain patterns, which can transfer various color patterns; the other is vertical spraying and sweeping technology, which has concave convex effect and strong three-dimensional effect,

2. The formation mechanism of wood grain in thermal transfer printing is the transfer penetration of wood grain ink. During the curing process, the transfer film is attached to the aluminum profile surface coating to form a vacuum state, and the ink adheres to the film. With the increase of baking temperature, the solvent of the medium dissolves and volatilizes, and the thermal molecular movement of the film intensifies. The ink molecules penetrate through the gap between the film molecules, and most of the ink and the film are combined together, showing the original wood grain color.

3. According to the different types of coating film on the surface of aluminum profile, the wood grain transfer mode is related to the performance of wood grain conversion film. At present, most of the wood grain transfer printing uses spray powder transfer wood grain process, the process flow is as follows: Aluminum pretreatment spraying background powder solidification coating wood grain transfer film solidification transfer paper. The powder spraying process adopts electrostatic spraying, and the powder used is special wood grain powder. After curing, the coating film thickness should ensure the transfer penetration depth of wood grain ink in the transfer printing process. Odyson wood grain transfer printing company uses polyurethane powder with strong weather resistance for spray wood grain transfer printing, which ensures good corrosion resistance and good color retention and weather resistance of the transferred wood grain color.

Aluminum Profiles Features:

Aluminum profile has thermal conductivity, and the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is about 50-60% of that of copper, which is beneficial to the manufacture of heat exchangers, evaporators, heating appliances, cooking utensils, as well as automobile cylinder heads and radiators.

Aluminum profiles are non ferromagnetic, which is an important feature for electrical and electronic industries.

Aluminum profiles are not self ignited, which is important for applications involving handling or contacting flammable and explosive materials.

Machinability of aluminum profile is excellent. In all kinds of wrought and cast aluminum alloys, as well as in the various states after the production of these alloys, the machining characteristics change greatly, which requires special machine tools or technologies.

Aluminum profile has formability, and the variation of allowable deformation is controlled by specific tensile strength, yield strength, ductility and corresponding work hardening rate.

Aluminum profiles are recyclable, and aluminum is highly recyclable. The properties of recycled aluminum are almost the same as that of primary aluminum.
