4. Can you supply Extrusions in anodized/painted condition?

Yes, we can arrange for both Anodizing and Powder coating materials through vendors located very close to our works.

5. Can material be supplied in specific cut lengths?

Yes. Material of any length between 1 to 8 meters can be supplied. However, for maximum stuffing convenience, lengths of 5850mm and 5950mm for 20’ and 40’ containers respectively are suggested.

6. Can you supply cold drawn extrusions?

Very few sections are cold drawn to ensure very tight tolerances as per customer’s requirements. Generally extrusions are used as it is.

7. Which Aluminium alloy is generally used for Architectural Sections?

The most popular alloy used worldwide for Extrusion in Architecture is AA 6063 equivalent to Indian Standard 63400 or British HE9 or Canadian 50 S.

8. Are the billets ultrasonically tested?

Ultrasonic testing is carried out against specific request from the customer at additional cost.

9. Can we have a catalogue of your range and price list of all sections?

JAL's dies are developed for different applications. The general catalogue is available on this website. Prices are specific for quantity and alloy and can be quoted on request.

10. Are your sections approved by any reputed Institutes?

JAL,s sections are approved by National Thermal Power Corporation, Railways, Ministry of Defense, Department of Atomic Energy, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Power Grid Corporation etc.

11. What is your after-sales service mechanism?

Being an IS/ISO 9001:2000 certified company, materials are put into 100% inspection before despatch, and subsequently, possibility of rejection at the customer’s end is rare. Complaints arising thereafter are attended to at the customer’s premises jointly by the JAL marketing/technical staff and the problems are sorted out to the satisfaction of the customer. Appropriate corrective and preventive actions are put in place to prevent recurrence.

12. What are the terms and conditions of new die development?

Security for new die cost should be borne by the indenter against guarantees of minimum off-takes within a specified period of time, failing which the security for new die will be forfeited. There also are minimum quantity restrictions in respect of initial off-take and subsequent off-takes. Die exclusivity also can be applied under the applicable conditions. Specific details can be provided on request.

13. Can you supply the exact quantity ordered?

Every care will be taken to supply according to customer’s requirements. There will, however, be a quantity tolerance of minimum +/-10%.

14. What is the minimum order quantity to be supplied in one lot?

For the existing and the new profiles, the minimum order quantity per profile will be 500 kg / 1000 kg.

15. What are the packing methods used by you? What do you charge for this?

The packing method used will be HDPE packing where one individual bundle can hold approximately 100 kg of extrusions. In case of packing in wooden boxes, each pack can hold approx. 250 kg depending on customer’s choice. Another option available for packing is polythene. Stretch wrapping in automatic machines is also provided. For exports on full container load basis, the profiles are wrapped in polythene and stuffed directly into the containers. For cargo lesser than the Truck / Container load, the bundles will first be packed in polythene and then put into the wooden cases. Actual charges for packing would vary for different cases and the same can be provided on request.

16. What is the lead time required to execute an order?

For existing profiles, the lead time will be two weeks from the date of receipt of technically and commercially clear order, while for the new profiles the lead time may vary from 3 to 5 weeks.

17. What are the benefits of using aluminium in its extruded form?

Aluminium is unmatched in extruding a variety of configurations with desirable combinations of physical properties. Aluminium extrusions provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, close tolerances, ease of joining, good machinability, and excellent thermal properties. Extrusions can be produced in almost final shape required, thereby reducing wastage.

18. Are aluminium extrusions recyclable?

The aluminium extrusions are recyclable and have a substantial scrap value. Hence, it’s economical as well as environment friendly. Recycling aluminium consumes only five percent energy required in producing new aluminium.

19. How do I determine the right aluminium alloy?

Though several alloys and tempers might be suitable for your application, it is structural or fabrication requirement that forms the basis of choice. JAL can help you in choosing the best suited and the most economical alloy for your specific needs.

20. What is the circumscribing circle size and what is maximum circumscribing circle supplied by you?
