The automobile industry is undoubtedly the biggest user of aluminium. Many of the new products that are launched in the automobile sector make use of aluminium. This metal is also used for manufacture of sunroof aluminium channels that are required for motor vehicles. The ones used in automobiles require low friction in order to run smoothly. They also need to have good resistance with regards to the wear and tear of the vehicle. Hence, the need for high quality aluminium channels that can be made from aluminium extrusions only.Anodisation of the channel surface is done so that it becomes tougher and stronger. The other metal channels which are available are not as hard as these. They provide better security to the vehicle, thanks to these anodised channels. The extrusions have to be tolerant enough to remain assembled with other vehicle parts which are fitted. Alloy design changes can be brought about if you so desire so as to make the channels stronger and harder.It is imperative that a tight control shape be given so that the shape of these channels is not disturbed.

If you live in San Jose, you already know just about the last thing you want is a DUI. California laws have gotten so strict that a DUI can lead to serious fines, felony convictions, and a lot of jail time. Those are life experiences that no one wants to have. I recently had a friend wreck his car because he fell asleep behind the wheel. He was completely sober, but his accident still qualified as a DUI according to the new laws. Luckily, his accident didn't involve anyone else, or the police would have placed him under arrest in the hospital.But it does happen. It might not even be intentional, due to something like a bad medical reaction or fatigue. If it happens to you, the first thing to remember is to be cooperative with the arresting officer. Becoming belligerent will only work against you at the time of arrest and in the court system. Don't do anything that could result in additional charges against you.The second thing to remember is not to admit to anything. Don't plead guilty, and ask to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. They may try to convince you not to request an attorney, and I have even heard of cases where the officers involved have threatened...more
