I. Aluminium sheet metal fabrication
Aluminum was discovered in the early 1800s and the Paris World's Fair in 1855 presented the world's first 55kg block of aluminum. That time its price was a rival to gold's due to the difficulties in production, so at the beginning aluminium was used for making jewellery.
Since then aluminium is used on many fields because of its advantageous features. We at Melior Laser also happy to work with aluminium as it is easily processable, attractive surfaces and spectacularly sharp bends can be obtained with this material. However, there are some aspects must be taken into consideration during aluminium sheet metal fabrication:

1, Certain aluminium alloys must be used in a given time (normally within 6 months). Over this time its mechanical properties can be changed and not all requirements of formability can they meet.
2, In case of nibbling and punching a coated tool is necessary.
3, During bending, if bending mark is to be avoided, a special tool should be used.
4, During aluminium laser cutting the energy demand is great and we must pay close attention to burr-free edges and splash-free surfaces.
5, Aluminum welding requires special expertise. 

6, When grinding aluminium the secondary burr is to avoided.

Keeping all these criteria in mind aluminium is one of our favourite material. The following technologies are applied during aluminium fabrication: aluminium laser cutting, bending, fastener insertion, smaller machining works, stud welding, grinding and surface treatment (powder coating and anodising).
