Advantages of aluminum profiles compared to welded structures

Aluminum profiles and welded steel structures are two popular options for framing and structural applications. This article provides a deeper look at the key differences and benefits of aluminum profiles.

In this article, we will focus in detail on comparing aluminum profiles and welded steel constructions, to identify the key differences and advantages that each of these materials offers for construction and industrial applications.

1. Low weight and easy handling
  • Weight: aluminum profiles are significantly lighter than steel, which facilitates handling and transport, while at the same time reducing transport costs.
  • Assembly: the modular nature of aluminum profiles allows for simple and quick assembly without the need for welding, saving time and manpower

2.Flexibility and design
  • Diverse applications: aluminum is used in a wide range of applications, from conveyor structures, machine frames, shelving to office equipment, stands and exhibitions.
  • Design: due to its flexibility and high quality, aluminum allows the creation of more complex and aesthetically appealing structures than steel

3. High resistance and long life

  

4. Cost savings

  
  • Reduced operating costs: thanks to the flexibility of the profiles and the possibility of simple conversion, the structure can be prepared for further modifications
  • No need for welding: since the aluminum profiles are standardized, there are many types of accessories for them , so there is no need to weld
  • Strength: While steel is stronger, aluminum is far stronger relative to its weight
