The processing of tread plate aluminum

2018-05-17

The tread plate aluminum has wide application in the industries, after been processed, the usage can be further widen. What should be paid attention to when the aluminum tread plate in processing, how can we achieve better processing results? What are the processing method of the aluminum checked plate? The following 7 aspects can help you know more.

1. Cutting: tread plate aluminium can be cut into the desired shape by plasma cutting, carbon arc, and abrasive wheel saws. The best way is to use air or inert gas plasma arc cutting.
2. Bending: The aluminum tread plate can be cold-formed and bent to the desired shape, arc or circle as required.
3. Openings: Large holes can be cut using plasma, and small holes are recommended for EDM machines. Counterbore holes for mounting bolts can be plasma or carbon arc cut.
4. Welding: When two aluminum plates are required for splicing, they can be welded together, aluminum tread plates can also be welded to other steel structures.
5. Plug welding: Plasma or carbon arc gouging can be used to make holes in the patterned aluminum plate, which can be connected to other steel structural parts by plug welding.
6. Bolt fixing: The bolt can be welded to the aluminium tread plate by flash welding or melting welding, then connected with other workpieces, or holes can be made in the tread plate aluminum and connected with other workpieces through bolts.
7. Surface processing: The surface of tread plate aluminum do not need of processing, if it needs processing, it can only be grinding, other conventional methods are not applicable. Aluminum checker plate are not suitable for applications where high surface accuracy is required.
