At present, the demand for aluminum processing is gradually increasing in terms of precision and aesthetics. So how can such high processing demands be met? In this article, we will join Loval to explore how the aluminum processing process in the Industry 4.0 era will look in a smart factory. Let’s find out together!
1. What is aluminum material?
Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in today’s modern industry due to its softness, flexibility, light weight, and durability.
Aluminum is non-magnetic and non-flammable, with a melting point of around 640°C and a density of 2.68 g/cm³.
2. Advantages of aluminum in modern industrial production
In modern industrial processing, aluminum plays a very important role in many fields thanks to its outstanding advantages such as:
Lightweight: Aluminum is lighter than other metals such as iron and steel, helping to reduce weight in production, transportation, and installation.
Corrosion resistance and durability: Aluminum has high corrosion resistance, making it durable over time during use.
Easy to process and manufacture: During production, aluminum can be easily cast, stamped, and processed, saving time and effort.
Easy to recycle: Recycling is easy, helping to reduce waste and save resources while lowering production costs.
With the above-mentioned advantages, aluminum has become an indispensable material in Industry 4.0 manufacturing. So let’s continue with Loval to learn more about the aluminum processing procedure in the next section!
3. How does the aluminum production – processing procedure take place?
3.1 Mold making
Leading smart processing factories will have professional mold-making workshops. The mold-making process must ensure that every aluminum casting detail has precise dimensions and high quality.
3.2 Aluminum alloy making
In certain industries, aluminum can be combined with other alloys if needed, with high precision.
3.3 Cutting and processing aluminum
This is the most important step in the production process of aluminum parts. Modern factories will use Industry 4.0 technologies such as CNC milling machines, CNC lathes, laser cutting machines, etc., providing high-quality services to meet customer demands.
3.4 Surface finishing
After cutting and processing, aluminum products are surface finished to increase aesthetics and corrosion resistance. Coating steps such as nickel plating, anodizing, or other plating methods are applied depending on the specific requirements of the product.
4. Factors for beautiful and high-quality aluminum processing
To achieve beautiful and high-quality aluminum processing, the following factors must be considered:
4.1 Input materials
Use high-quality aluminum materials depending on the specific requirements of each product type. The aluminum must ensure purity and uniformity to achieve the best machining results.
4.2 Processing procedure
Use modern machinery with Industry 4.0 technology, including advanced machines for aluminum processing such as CNC cutting machines, pressing machines, grinding machines… to ensure precision and repeatability in machining.
4.3 Quality control
Carry out periodic quality checks during the aluminum machining process to detect and fix potential issues early.
4.4 Surface treatment
After machining, the surface treatment of aluminum is an important step to achieve a beautiful and high-quality final aluminum product. Loval’s aluminum with nickel metal coloring technology helps the aluminum surface withstand better for up to 50 years.
Keeping up with new technology trends, investing in advanced equipment, and training high-quality human resources will help the aluminum processing industry in Vietnam develop sustainably and compete in the international market.
