Aluminum profile curtain wall 70 series: leading the future of super high-rise buildings with technological innovation and performance breakthroughs

——Systematic upgrade from aluminum alloy substrate innovation to surface treatment process

1、 Aluminum profile curtain wall 70 series: the structural guardian of super high-rise buildings

As the core system of modern building facades, aluminum profile curtain walls carry a composite mission of safety, aesthetics, and functionality. The 70 series aluminum profile curtain wall, with a main frame width of 70mm as its core, redefines the performance limit of super high-rise curtain walls through aluminum alloy material strengthening, multi cavity aluminum profile structure optimization, and nanoscale surface treatment technology. Compared to the 50 series, its main load-bearing wall thickness has been increased to 4.0-5.0mm, with a tensile strength exceeding 200MPa and a wind pressure resistance level of 15 (≥ 5.0kPa). It is designed specifically for super high-rise buildings over 400 meters and extreme weather environments. According to the Global Ultra High rise Building Technology Report, the 70 series products have a market share of over 65% in buildings over 300 meters worldwide, becoming the "performance ceiling" in the field of aluminum curtain walls.

2、 Core Technology Breakthrough: Collaborative Evolution of Aluminum Alloy, Aluminum Profile, and Surface Treatment

1. Aluminum alloy substrate: the mechanical foundation of super high-rise buildings

The innovation of the 70 series aluminum profile curtain wall began with the comprehensive upgrade of aluminum alloy materials:

-Alloy formula optimization: using 6082-T6 aviation grade aluminum alloy, the silicon content is increased to 1.2% (40% higher than 6063), the magnesium content is precisely controlled at 0.8%~1.2%, the yield strength reaches 260MPa, and the fatigue resistance is improved by 50%.

-Revolution in Melting and Casting Technology: Introducing electromagnetic stirring technology (frequency 20Hz) and gradient quenching process (cooling rate 500 ℃/min) to eliminate grain boundary segregation in aluminum alloys, resulting in a hardness uniformity error of ≤ 1.5HV for aluminum profiles and a reduction in material performance dispersion to within 3%.

2. Aluminum profile structure: mechanical reconstruction of nine cavities and ten bars

To cope with the wind vibration coupling effect of super high-rise buildings, the 70 series curtain wall adopts a "nine cavity ten reinforcement" aluminum profile design:

-Partition of the cavity: Within a 70mm frame, it is divided into 9 independent chambers. The thermal conductivity of the air layer is as low as 0.021W/(m · K), which increases the energy-saving efficiency by 30% compared to the 50 series.

-Reinforcement topology optimization: Adopting biomimetic honeycomb structure reinforcement (wall thickness 2.8mm), the shear strength is increased to 120N/mm ², and the bending stiffness reaches 28000N · mm ²/mm, meeting the ultimate deformation requirement of L/500.

3. Surface treatment process: Cross generational upgrade of nanocomposite coatings

Surface treatment is the core competitiveness of the 70 series aluminum profile curtain wall:

Conclusion: With aluminum alloy as the bone and surface treatment as the soul, define the new era of curtain wall

The birth of the 70 series aluminum profile curtain wall is the ultimate fusion of aluminum alloy material science, aluminum profile structural mechanics, and nanoscale surface treatment technology. When the 6082-T6 aluminum alloy undergoes atomic level recombination in an electromagnetic field, when the nine cavity ten rib aluminum profile obtains precise contours under a ten thousand ton extruder, and when the graphene composite coating endows the curtain wall with the ability to "self repair" through molecular bonding - what we see is not only the evolution of a product, but also the challenge of human engineering to the limits of nature.

The 70 series aluminum curtain wall uses surface treatment as a shield to resist time erosion and aluminum alloy as a spear to break through mechanical boundaries. It is not only the wisdom crystallization of materials scientists and structural engineers, but also the ecological closed loop of digital services and intelligent operation and maintenance. In the future, when zero carbon buildings become a global standard and every curtain wall has a "digital life", people will eventually remember that it is these precision aluminum profiles, innovative surface treatments, and intelligent aluminum alloy technologies that have supported humanity's ambition to extend to the sky.
