Twisted aluminum panel

Twisted Aluminum Panel
Twisted aluminum panel is a specially engineered sheet made from high-grade aluminum alloys, featuring complex 3-D curvature and contorted geometries. It is widely specified in contemporary architecture and industrial design for its sculptural impact and structural efficiency.

Key Material Properties
• Alloy: Typically Al-Mg (5xxx series) or Al-Mn (3xxx series) for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio
• Lightweight: Up to 60 % lighter than comparable steel cladding
• High strength: Yield strength ≥ 180 MPa after forming
• Corrosion-resistant: Natural aluminum oxide layer plus optional PVDF or anodized finish for marine-grade durability

Manufacturing Process
1. CNC precision cutting of raw coil or plate
2. 3-D forming via cold or hot bending to achieve the desired twist radius and double curvature
3. Surface treatment: anodizing, powder-coating or PVDF coating for colorfastness and UV resistance

Typical Applications
• Architectural curtain walls and façades
• Museums and exhibition pavilions
• Retail hubs and mixed-use complexes
The dynamic twist gives buildings a fluid, kinetic appearance while maintaining structural integrity and low maintenance requirements.
