What Specifications Are Necessary for a Successful Aluminium Extrusion Order?

1. Aluminium Profiles Technical Drawing & Design Requirements

  • Is there a detailed CAD drawing available for the aluminium profile?

  • Does the drawing specify critical parameters including:
    Aluminium alloy grade (e.g., 6060, 6061, 6063, 6082)
    ✓ Weight per meter (kg/m) with ±2% tolerance
    ✓ Dimensional tolerances (ISO 286 or DIN 17615)
    ✓ Visible surface requirements (A, B, or C surfaces per EN 755-9)
    ✓ Critical interfaces/connection points

2. Manufacturing & Quality Standards

  • Which international standards will govern the production?
    ✓ EN 755 (European extrusion standards)
    ✓ ASTM B221 (US standards)
    ✓ GB/T 5237 (Chinese standards)

  • Are there additional certifications required? (e.g., ISO 9001, Qualicoat for coatings)

  • Will the profiles undergo mechanical testing? (Tensile strength, hardness tests per EN 10002)

3. Order & Usage Specifications

  • Total order length: Full mill length (6m standard) or cut-to-size?

  • Final usage length: Required precision (±0.5mm?) for assembly

  • Annual aluminium volume: Estimated tons/year for production planning

  • Surface treatments:
    ✓ Press finish (mill finish acceptable?)
    ✓ Powder coating (RAL color code?)
    ✓ Anodizing (Type II/III, thickness in microns?)
    ✓ Machining allowances (post-extrusion CNC work?)
    ✓ Hanger mark restrictions (visible surfaces?)

4. Packaging & Logistics

  • Protective packaging requirements:
    ✓ Wooden crates vs. cardboard/plastic wrapping
    ✓ Anti-corrosion VCI foil for marine transport
    ✓ Edge protectors for precision surfaces

  • Unit load details:
    ✓ Bundling weight limits (max. 1 ton/bundle?)
    ✓ Stacking restrictions
