Aluminium is the most preferred metal to extrude. as it is very light in weights compared to other metals like copper, Brass ,and steel which are three times more in weight than Aluminium .
Aluminium gets a thin layer of oxide on surface , which protects from corroision The extrusion process futher adds to this oxide layer enhancing resistance to corrosion.
Aluminium extrusion is extremely cost effective when compared with extrusion of Other metals .It produces a complete unit or small parts that can interlocked with other metal parts to Form a complete structure.
One can get Aluminium extrusions in various size and shapes Comparatively easily then other metals and non metals , Aluminium extrusion dies are easy and relatively inexpensive to install and maintain .
Aluminium extrusions have efficient electrical conductivity and hence are used in electric connectors . Their excellent thermal conductivity also facilitates their use heat exchanger applications .
The aluminum can is infinitely recyclable – that means it can be used, recycled, and turned
Back into a new can endlessly. In Fact. it can be recycled and back on the store shelf as a new beverage can in less than 60 days ! And that’s great for the environment because it takes 95% less energy to make a can from recycled aluminum ,than from raw materials . By recycling aluminum can’s and scrap we’re also saving valuable space in our landfills .
Recycling is also a great way to earn cash too. Aluminum is the most valuable material in the recycling bin .Although by weight it is less than 2 % of the world recycled stream, aluminum generates 40% of the revenue to sustain all recycling programs. So by recycling aluminum cans ,you can earn cash , wile saving the environment too.
Because recycling aluminum saves so much energy, this is huge opportunity for consumers to reduce their carbon footprint .In fact . if we could recover and recycle 75% of aluminum cans and scrap 600,000 metric tons of aluminum - we could save 1286 megawatts of generated electricity . That’s the amount
Production with recycling would keep 11.8 million metric tones of carbon dioxide from being generated and released into the atmosphere.
Recycling I tone of aluminium saves 9 tones of emissions
Making aluminium from raw materials a complex process. However once made the metal can be melted down and reformed without losing any quality .And the process can be repeated over and over again.
Along with the energy savings, recycling aluminum saves around 95% of the greenhouse gas emissions
Compared to the ‘ primary ‘ production process .Recycling I tone of aluminium saves 9 tones of co2
emissions ; So when you consider that 1 tonne of co2 is equivalent to driving 2800 miles the benefits of
recycling really start to become compelling.
The drink can you recycle today could be made into a new can, filled and put back on the shelf in just six weeks
Nearly 90% of the drink cans sold in the world are made of aluminum ,and when you factor in all the aerosols and foil food trays also on the market , that adds more than 150,000 tones of aluminium
Packaging that could be recycled. The current recycling rate for drink cans stands at 55% and the overall rate for aluminium packaging is 42% - so there’s still a long way to go to reach that goal .
The drinks can you recycle today could be made into a new can, filled and put back on the shelf in just
Six weeks. In a whole year , that one can could be recycle eight times . saving enough energy to make 160 new cans.
