What is Aluminum Extrusion?
Aluminium extrusion is a manufacturing process where aluminium alloy material is forced through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile.
This process transforms aluminium into long, straight shapes, such as rods, bars, and tubes, which can be cut to specific lengths. The extrusion process allows for the creation of complex cross-sections and is used in various industries for applications like structural frames, automotive parts, and consumer products.
It offers excellent material properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
Aluminum Extrusion Process & Machines
The aluminium extrusion process involves heating aluminium billets to a pliable temperature and then forcing them through a die to create specific cross-sectional profiles.
This method can produce complex shapes with excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Key steps include heating the billet, extrusion through a custom die, cooling, and cutting to desired lengths.
The primary machines used in this process are extrusion presses, which can be either hydraulic or mechanical. Additional equipment includes ovens for heating billets, cooling tables, and automated saws for cutting the extruded profiles.
This process is widely used in industries requiring lightweight and strong components, such as automotive, construction, and aerospace.
