Processing of Aluminium Composite Panel

Drilling

Guangfeng's aluminium composite panels can be drilled with twist drills commonly used for drilling aluminium and plastics.

Punching

Guangfeng's panels can be punched with a conventional punching machine. For clean cuts, use evenly ground tools and the narrowest possible cutting gap. Note that punching can cause indentation on the panel cover sheet.

Riveting

Riveting is possible with the use of conventional equipment and rivets. For outdoor use of aluminium composite panels, please take into consideration of panel expansion.

Clamping

Use serrated corner-joint and butt joint sections for all our panels of 3mm, 4mm and 6mm thickness.

Shearing

Use a guillotine for shearing. Make sure the blanking tools are padded as shearing can cause indentation on the panel cover sheet.

Glueing

Use conventional metal adhesive for gluing of panels. Note there is no adhesion on the plastic core. For indoor use of panels use double-sided tape.

Welding

Our panels can be joined by the hot-air welding method. The plastic core and plastic welding rod are heated and then welded with electric hot-air welding sets. Soft black 1800-h-type polyethylene welding rods are recommended.

Screwing

Our aluminium composite panel can be screwed together with conventional stainless steel and sheet metal screws. Panels to be used for outdoor, take into consideration panel expansion.
