ALUMINUM ROLL FORMING

Aluminum is a very versatile material that works well with the roll forming process. Aluminum provides the advantage of being lightweight, while also offering significant strength. Some aluminum alloys can be two to three times stronger than steel. Other advantages aluminum roll forming products offer include:

Non-combustible – Aluminum is a safer option over other materials where fire is potentially a hazard. Rolled aluminum alloys generate no dangerous emissions when exposed to heat, and do not burn.
Corrosion resistant – When exposed to air, aluminum forms a natural, transparent oxide film, protecting it against further reaction and corrosion. Certain rolled aluminum alloys will maximize corrosion resistance for certain applications.
Non-toxic – Rolled aluminum alloys are non-absorbent, easily cleaned, and non-toxic, making them well suited for products that will be used in food applications.

Aluminum Roll Forming Products:

Tolerance Capabilities of Aluminum

Cross Section Tolerances
± .015 on Decimal Dimensions
± .031 on Fractional Dimensions
± 1° on Angular Dimensions

Part Length Tolerances
± 1/32" for Lengths less than 72"
± 1/16" for Lengths from 72" to 120"
± 1/8" for Lengths from 10' to 16'
± 1/4" for Lengths from 16' to 30'
± 1/2" for Lengths from 30' to 50'

Longer Lengths
± .008 per foot of length for parts requiring pre- or post-punching with non-random end spacing

Straightness Tolerance (Bow & Camber)
.020 Maximum Deviation per foot of part length

Twist Tolerance
1/4° Maximum Deviation per foot of part length

End Flare Tolerance
All roll formed parts will have end flare. The amount of end flare is determined by material type, gauge, and part shape. End flare can re-strike operation.

Greater tolerances than those listed above may be necessary for material in gauges lighter than 22ga (.030) or heavier than 8ga (.164).
