Step 1: Pre-painting
This step involves oil and dust removal before finishing with phosphating. The latter is the most important action in this phase.
After thorough cleaning and phosphating is done, a film is formed. The phosphate layer increases the product’s adhesive qualities. Besides, it boosts its corrosion resistance attributes.
Step 2: Powder Coating
The extruded aluminum profile is then powder coated in this second stage. The powder must be up to par with the wood grain’s heat transfer specifications. If these requirements aren’t met, the end product may not be as good.
Step 3: Wood Grain Paper/Film Cover
Cover the aluminum extrusion profile with wood grain paper or film.
Step 4: Sublimation
This process is also referred to as vacuum-curing. It entails passing the aluminum extrusion profile through a vacuum wood grain effect heat transfer machine. Place the wood grain on the substrate and heat the mixture.
Step 5: Film Removal
Remove the wood grain paper/film and clean your wood finish aluminum extrusion profile ready for quality analysis and packaging.
