Aluminum drawing

The aluminum drawing process has specific features that exploit the unique properties of this material, making it ideal for various industrial applications. 

Its main features are as follows:

1. High malleability 
Aluminum is a material that combines light weight, high stiffness, excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Several aluminum alloys are used in industry, and specifically pure aluminum is very malleable and suitable for deep stamping.

2. Low weight 
Due to the lightness and stiffness of aluminum, deep-drawn components are particularly suitable for sectors such as automotive and aerospace, where weight reduction is critical to improve energy efficiency and performance.

3. Custom die design 
When designing aluminum drawing molds, the aluminum alloy to be used must be borne in mind in order to avoid wrinkling, breaking, excessive thinning and other defects that may arise.

4. Lubricating and washing deep-drawn parts 
Specific lubricants must be used in aluminum drawing to allow the material to slide and prevent breakage. Deep-drawn parts should be washed with mildly alkaline detergents to avoid damaging the surface appearance.

5. Improving corrosion resistance 
Aluminum naturally coats itself with an oxide called alumina, which protects the material from natural oxidation. However, if the part is used in corrosive environments, it is advisable to perform an anodizing treatment to improve corrosion resistance. These anodizing treatments can be given various colors while also improving aesthetic appearance.

In summary, aluminum drawing requires advanced skills and dedicated technologies to make the most of its properties, ensuring lightweight, strong, high-quality products for a wide range of applications.
