Aluminum manufacturing procedures

Hi, This is Arne Pedersen, owner and founder of Hill Agility Equipment

It became apparent to me that our customers often have had many questions as to how our products were built, as well, within wondering of why our prices are where they are.

I decided to design a manufacturing and shipping page with the intentions in providing fulfillment in our customers curiosity, as well, in showing how many time involving steps and procedures actually take place with the safe shop production and shipping of your orders, and that you are TRULY getting your money's worth in return.

The procedures for the manufacturing of our Lightweight Aluminum line of equipment is mostly identical to the Steel Manufacturing processes, with the addition of some extra Preparation steps required for professional TIG Welding.

As well as the higher costs of Aluminum, the welding procedures require much more extensive preparation from steel welding. All areas at and near where the welds will go MUST be completely cleaned of any and all impurities from the Aluminum Mill forming processes, as well any other possible contaminates. Special Stainless steel buffing wire wheels, special sanding belts, as well a great deal of hand prepping with stainless steel wire brushes are used for this.

Powdercoating finishes on Aluminum are only used if specifically requested by a customer, and are slightly different than in the steel powdercoating procedures. The Aluminum is prepped in an acid bath instead of being sandblasted. The powdercoating spray part is the same.
