Antique aluminum components, Modern Chinese aluminum alloy, Ancient architectural aluminum alloy




Due to the superior performance of aluminum alloy arches over traditional wooden arches in all aspects, aluminum alloy arches are lighter, easier to transport, and simpler to install. Wooden arches, being handcrafted, are time-consuming. In contrast, aluminum alloy arches are quick from production to installation, saving a significant amount of time. Moreover, wooden arches are prone to cracking, discoloration, and are flammable when exposed to outdoor elements for long periods. Ancient-style aluminum components for ancient architecture do not have these shortcomings; they are resistant to corrosion, oxidation, and fire.
Newly Chinese-style aluminum alloy dougong, a unique component of Han architecture, is composed of square dou, sheng, gong, qiao, and ang. The protruding part in the middle of the dougong is still called the shao head. A standing double dragon head in blue is cast. On either side, a half-sculpted flame pearl is carved on the pad arch plate, symbolizing good luck and happiness. Generally speaking, only very important or commemorably significant buildings have dougong installed. There are many types of dougong, with complex structures. They are categorized by their location in the building: 1. Outer Eave Dougong: Located on the outer eave of the building. It is divided into column head, horizontal body, and corner dougong; among them, the structure of the corner dougong is the most complex, and it plays the most significant role.
Ancient Architecture Aluminum Alloy Interior Eaves Corbels: Located in the interior eaves of the building. They are divided into various types such as "Pin" corbels, "Partition" corbels, etc. One, it is situated between the column and beam, and the loads transferred from the roof and upper structure need to be conveyed through the corbels to the column, and then transmitted to the foundation. Therefore, it plays a role of supporting the upper and lower parts, transferring the loads. Two, it projects outward, which can extend the outermost truss a certain distance, making the eaves of the building more pronounced and the shape more elegant and magnificent.
