Aluminum Extrusion technology

Aluminum extrusion technology

Aluminum extrusion is a process of placing aluminum alloy into an extrusion cylinder and applying a certain pressure to make it flow out from a specific die hole, so as to obtain the required cross-sectional shape and size of the method.

Advantages of aluminum extrusion technology

In comparison to other products, aluminum extrusions are the preferential option due to their unique combination of lightness and toughness. From the industry viewpoint, aluminum extrusion has additional advantages:

to aluminum castings.

1)Durable

2)Light and strong, it is the best substitute for other metal materials;

3)Good thermal conductivity;

4)Fashionable appearance;

5)Wide application range;

6)Easy secondary processing: forming, cutting, drilling,

7)Short mold processing cycle and low cost;

8)Absorb shock and deformation;

9)Environmental protection.

To complement our aluminum extrusion services, we also provide multi-axis CNC post-machining services, such as hole drilling and tapping. Wire EDM is also available for short-run orders that don’t need a dedicated extrusion die.

We control all post-processing operations according to your exact specifications. This includes polishing, anodizing, painting and powder coating to complete your parts.

What Kinds of Shapes Can be Extruded?

There are three main categories of extruded shapes:

Solid, with no enclosed voids or openings (i.e. a rod, beam, or angle).

Hollow, with one or more voids (i.e. square or rectangular tube).

Semi-hollow, with a partially enclosed void (i.e. a “C” channel with a narrow gap)

Extrusion has innumerable applications across many different industries, including the architectural, automotive, electronics, aerospace, energy, Electronics industry, Lighting, Solar energyand other industries.
