Aluminum Profile

Aluminum profiles are the geometries and sections made through the aluminum extrusion process, the example we can take from the automotive industry where the body panels of the vehicles are made up of aluminum by the extrusion process. The aluminum profile method makes it suitable for mass production as it is very compatible with modern automation technologies with robot-assisted manufacturing.

The manufacturing method for aluminum profiles

The most suitable manufacturing process for aluminum profiles is the 'extrusion' process. In this method, a predefined cross-sectional profile is made from a prefabricated die or mold, the raw material is inserted in the die and by application of a huge amount of force from a hydraulic powered ram created the desired geometry or profile.

Types of extrusion process

Cold extrusion - It is done at room temperature and produces higher strength due to cold-working, alow for minor tolerances, superior surface finish. Mainly suitable for aluminum, tin, copper , titanium, some soft steels.
Hot extrusion - It is done at elevated temperatures precisely above the recrystallization temperatures it avoids work hardening and easier to press the material in the die, mainly suitable for harder metals.
Warm extrusion - Done at temperatures below the recrystallization temperatures.

Material for manufacture product

For aluminum profiles the suitable size of 'aluminum ingot in the form of billet. Aluminum ingots are preshaped pieces of pure material which is then used in the secondary manufacturing process. For example, soft drink cans are made from ingots circular thick discs which then extruded in the form of cans.

Dumas Method Experiment: In this experiment, we measured a flask with an aluminum foil and elastic band set up then added 4mL of methanol inside the flask and sealed with the foil covering and boiled in a water bath until all the liquid vaporized (this will drive out any air in the flask and push out all excess vapour). Then we cooled it to let the vapour condense and reweighed the flask with the vapour in it. The following questions...

A company claims that a new manufacturing process changes the mean amount of aluminum needed for cans and therefore changes the weight. Independent random samples of aluminum cans made by the old process and the new process are taken. The summary statistics are given below. Is their evidence the 5% significance level (or 95 confidence level) to support the claim that the mean weight for all old cans is different than the mean weight for all new cans ?Justify fully!...

Last year Deiters Aluminum purchased a new press machine used in manufacturing for $308,000. At a trade show the VP of Manufacturing learned about a new machine that is available that offers many advantages and can be purchased for $440,000 today. The new press machine would be depreciated on a straight line basis for 10 years after which it would have no salvage value. The VP of Manufacturing expects that the new machine will produce EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,...
