Corner aluminum is a popular type of a profile which is actively used in many branches.
The excellent properties of this product provide a stable demand for this type of rental. An aluminum corner is used not only as a decor, but also as an excellent structural component. The areas of use of the material are not easy to describe in a few words.
The aluminum corner presented on the website alumarket.com.ua differs in size, length and weight. The main parameters are determined by the alloy and the level of hardening. The Alumarket company offers to get acquainted with a large selection of corners of various characteristics. There is an opportunity to order finished products with processing and welding, as well as painting.
When choosing a corner, it doesn’t hurt to pay attention to why it is such a popular material:

     any aluminum products are lightweight;
     the flexibility of aluminum provides a wide range of uses for manufactured products;
     excellent performance and long service life;
     high level of impact resistance;
     resistance to temperature fluctuations;
     resistance to corrosion;
     environmental friendliness;
     acceptable cost.

Types and uses
It is customary to distinguish between two types of aluminum corners, which differ in side sizes. Equilateral shelves have the same length, while versatile ones have different ones. In addition, the products do not have internal cavities. As the main purpose of aluminum corners, it is worth highlighting the connections and fasteners. Very often, such products act as a facing material.
As for the application, it is quite wide. Products are used in construction and repair work, in the manufacture of furniture and advertising equipment, as well as other items. For your information, the corner is often used by designers because it has an excellent external component.
With the help of the material, high-quality furniture protection is ensured, which allows you to pay attention to design solutions that fit well into popular styles. For this, an anodized corner or with a polymer coating is used. Applications usually depend on certain shapes and sizes of products. For example, narrow corners are used when installing window frames or for interior decoration, wide ones are suitable for creating overall structures.
The aluminum corner is made of strips of non-ferrous metal of grades A0, A00, AD, AD31 and others. Most often on sale you can find rolled aluminum alloy AD31.
To increase strength and improve performance, aluminum is alloyed with other types of metals, including:

     chromium;
     iron;
     copper;
     zinc.

The shape of the profile is given mainly by bending a metal strip. Less commonly, corners are obtained by welding strips.

Choice of aluminum corners
In modern stores, at metal depots, on the websites of manufacturers and suppliers of rolled products, you can find products with:

     the same and different sizes of shelves;
     the location of the shelves at a right (mainly), acute or obtuse angle;
     flat or round corner.

Commercially available profiles differ in the type of processing (hardening and aging) of the metal, the presence or absence of a protective coating. Sellers who value their reputation usually provide detailed information about the product offered and its characteristics.
Scope of aluminum corners
Shaped elements made of aluminum are especially in demand in the construction and repair industry. They are used for:

     connection of drywall elements;
     strengthening slopes;
     arrangement of arches;
     installation of stretch ceilings;
     decorative finishes.

The need to use aluminum corners is present in the furniture industry, machine and machine tool building, and the advertising industry.
The geometric parameters of equal-shelf and unequal-shelf corners can vary within the following limits:

     shelf width: equal-shelf products - 10-200 mm, unequal-shelf products - 6-265 mm;
     wall thickness: equal-shelf - 1-43 mm, unequal-shelf - 1-66 mm.

Aluminum corner profiles may not be subjected to heat treatment, but they can be annealed (then they will become soft) and hardened. Such products are additionally processed in other ways, namely:

     cover their surface with paints and varnishes (Zhl);
     electrophoresis is used to apply a protective layer (Je) on their surface;
     apply electrolytic processing - anodizing (An);
     a polymer coating is applied to their surface by the powder method (P);
     a complex two-layer substance (K) is used to protect their surface.
The dimensions of the aluminum corner can be found by its marking, which can indicate not only the width of the shelves, but also the thickness of the metal from which it is made. For example, marking 50x50 aboutmeans that this is an equal-shelf corner, the width of each shelf of which corresponds to 50 mm, and the designation 50x30x2 indicates that this is a product with shelves of different widths (50 and 30 mm, respectively), made of metal 2 mm thick.
In accordance with the provisions of GOST 8617-81, an aluminum profile in the form of a corner can be supplied to customers with products of measured, random length and length, which is a multiple of the measured length.
Varieties of aluminum corner are products with perforated and profiled shelves. A feature of a perforated profile is that holes are specially made in its shelves - perforation. Profiled products are corners, on the edges of the shelves of which special folds are made. These are not decorative elements - they are designed so that the product can perform certain functions.
Benefits of using
Aluminum is a more ductile material than steel, so it is much easier to manufacture products from it with a specific cross-sectional profile. Corners made of this material have the following characteristics:

     exceptionally high resistance to corrosion (hence - successful and long-term operation in conditions of high humidity and exposure to aggressive environments);
     the optimal combination of low weight, sufficiently high strength and rigidity, which allows such products to withstand significant loads;
     the ability to respond well to thermal and mechanical processing, to weld;
     ease of installation;
     the ability to take the desired configuration due to the high ductility of aluminum;
     high thermal and electrical conductivity;
     the ability to withstand without deformation not only low and high temperatures, but also a sharp change in temperature (from -80 to +1000 Celsius);
     ease of care (dirt does not accumulate on the smooth surface of aluminum);
     exceptionally high decorative effect;
     fire safety;
     environmental cleanliness;
     the possibility of being recycled, which is carried out at low financial costs;
     low price (aluminum is a common and, accordingly, inexpensive non-ferrous metal, and the costs incurred for the purchase of aluminum corners are fully offset by the worthy characteristics of this product).
High corrosion resistance (one of the main advantages of aluminum corner profiles) is explained by the fact that a protective oxide film is formed on the surface of aluminum when it interacts with oxygen. Despite the fact that such a film is characterized by excellent protective properties, it is easily damaged by mechanical action on the metal, since its thickness is small. To provide aluminum corners with even more reliable protection, additional coatings are applied to their surface.
A reliable protective coating of the required thickness makes it possible to obtain such a technological operation as anodizing. The so-called anodized aluminum is a metal on the surface of which a high-strength oxide film is specially formed, which can successfully withstand even significant mechanical stress.
