WHY THE CHOICE OF AN ALUMINIUM ALLOY?
Acid resistance |
|
|
|
By nature, the material is practically unaffected
by acids, solvents or other chemical which combine with metal giving rise to oxides.
A precise choice of anticorrosive alloys may be made in order to overcome particular
difficult conditions.
This provides an ideal feature for use in acid or corrosive atmosphere such as, for
example, in paint manufacture, the preparation of textile printing pastes, colour mixing
or manufacturing processes in general: a typical example being that of paper making. |
|
Resistance to corrosion
|
|
The chemical characteristics of the material
provide great stability and render it repellent to corrosion.
Our products are normally anodized this providing a safe protection against corrosion
phenomena.
It may therefore be said that in effect the material becomes artificial aged; in short,
oxidized then stabilized.
To be precise, the molecules of the alloy are converted into an oxide of an established
depth and after fixing from a resistant protective film.
Additionally, besides resolving the problem of corrosion it provides a means of
establighing the resistance there of according to the different categories, perfect
cleanliness of the parts, homogeneity of colour and a surface hardness which increases the
resistance with useage.
TecnoDesign can currently extend a guarantee against corrosion even for marine application
where the effect of defferent salts, etc. costitutes one of the most exacting fields of
application. |
|
Absence of maintenance
|
|
An undeniable advantage is that provided by the
complete absence of maintenance.
When considering extremely corrosive atmospheres in industry, such as the chemical
industry, papermaking, effluent treatment works, etc. where the paintwork, even if
epoxide, or zinc plated have a limited life, the importance of aluminium alloy becomes
evident, because it dispenses with any form of maintenance. |
|


|
Unalterable with time |
|
Another interesting aspect of solution we propose
is its functional durability.
By reason of its resistance to corrosion, the anodizing treatment, and the complete
freedom from maintenance, the product maintains a constant quality, appearance and
functional characteristics.
In certain cases self-tempering alloys are used. These recuperate, in large measure, the
mechanical characteristics lost as a result of the thermal change caused by welding, and
after a short period the product even improves as regards its mechanical properties. |
|
Light and strong
|
|
In our opinion, an important feature is that of
lightness.
It therefore follows immediately that the lightness of alluminium is the answer to many
problems.
As its specific weight is about one third of that of steel, this is one of the principle
reasons for using alluminium alloys, almost exclusively.
It is sufficient just to consider its mechanical characteristics, comparable, without
doubt, to any of the more traditional steels used for metal structures. |
|
Ease of assembly
|
|
When calculating costs, assembly and putting into
use have a considerable influence.
It stands to reason that when dealing with a light alloy,there is a movement of items
weighing three times less than when dealing with steel.
All this provides for an advantage in manoeuvre; furthermore, Tecno Design provide
anchorages aimed at eliminating service visits and adjustsments. |
|
Great manoeuvrability
|
|
Evolution and industrial development have, by now,
intoduced the use of high tecnology.
Plant and equipment have become more and more rational, competitive and versatile so as to
face up to market requirements.
Because of the method of construction a series of maintenance and adaptation operations,
even at short intervals, are required, and these increase costs.
It follows that the manoeuvrability of moveable parts, thanks to their lightness, is most
important.
Structures or transferrrable equipments, manoeuvrable even manually, reduce operating
costs to the consequent advantage of competition. |
|
High quality finish
|
|
As already explained, each single item of our
products is subjected to treatment by anodizing.
In addition to the protection against corrosion, this enhances the surface finish.
The fact is that with there being no surface deposits, such as paint or zinc, on the
material, all construction details is visible to the eye.
Tecno Design have studied that most appropriate method of construction so as to provide a
high grade finish and an excellent appearance, as well as to render the product
functional. |
|
Economy
|
|
Althought the use of light alloys in the
industrial field is relatively recent, is has proved to be economically advantageous.
When comparing an item made of steel with that made of alloy, the effective cost
difference is not be ignored.
Whwn determining real costs it should be noted that our product does not foresse any
maintenance requirements and remains functional with a constant physical appearance with
the passage of time.
Economy in transport and assembly should also not be overlooked.
Considering the variety of applications one can observe the efficacy and even more the
durability, coupled with the advantages already decribed. In real terms, therefore, use of
this material proves economic. |
