ALUMINIUM – BRIEF HISTORY
Aluminium metal came into use through Bauxite extraction and
Alumina refining, then primary smelting followed by rolling and
extrusion, the roofing sheet manufacturing industries rely on
the above for their raw materials.
Aluminium long-span roofing sheet is a product of Aluminium
metal and one of the most modern metals. It has only been
produced on an industrial scale since 1886 when Hall and Heroult
independently discovered how to produce Aluminium through
electrolysis. In 1900, the annual output of Aluminium was only
one thousand tonnes. By the end of the twentieth century, the
annual production had reached 32 million tonnes. This makes
Aluminium the world’s second most used metal. Today a world
without Aluminium has become unimaginable.
The building industry is one of the industries that benefited
immensely from Aluminium. Aluminium facilitates the construction
of corrosion-resistant, lightweight and low-maintenance
buildings around the world. It facilitates a long-lasting look
able and hygienic environment, because of the
corrosion–resistant and clean rainwater, which can be collected
from Aluminium roofs and used without health problems.
Similarly, the easy recycling of used Aluminium metal gives it
second-hand value with environmental friendliness as it can be
recycled again and again by present and future generations using
about 5% of the energy required for primary production. Anything
made of Aluminium can be recycled repeatedly.
Aluminium strips are processed and supplied by rolling mill
companies, to Aluminium roofing sheet manufacturers. The strip
can be plain or stucco mill finish. For coloured sheets, the
plain strip is passed through a colour coating machine with an
infrared oven, which coats and cures acrylic/polyester paint.
Aluminium long-span roofing sheets are manufactured with a
roll-forming machine, which is called ROLL–FORMER. The
roll–forming machine has the capability of producing long
lengths of roofing sheets as long as one can handle them safely.
The corrugated sheets are available in stucco mill finish and in
different oven–baked colours. Major equipment for roofing sheet
production is the folding machine, which produces ridges gutters
and many other types of flashing. There are other smaller
machines used in making different accessories such as hook
bolts, washers, screws and pop rivets.
