ALUMINIUM JOINTINGS
Using the opportunities provided by the extrusion process for creative designs gives strong, stable, rapid and effective joints. Whether it is for joining one extrusion to another or for joining an extrusion to another material.
There are many advantages to be obtained by joining several smaller extrusions to a larger unit. Handling is easier. Pressing, surface treatment and a large amount of the machining can be done on a more rational basis. Smaller extrusions can be produced with less material thickness, better accuracy and in many cases lower die costs.
The different types of jointing in aluminium are as follows:
1. Screw ports
2. Tracks for nuts or bolt heads
3. Snap fit joints
4. Joining profile to profile
5. Telescoping
6. Latitudinal joining
7. Hinges
8. T-joints
9. Corner joints
10. Riveting
11. End Caps
