What is Aluminum Extrusion?
Aluminum extrusion is a process by which aluminum alloy material is forced through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile. A powerful ram pushes the aluminum through the die and it emerges from the die opening. When it does, it comes out in the same shape as the die and is pulled out along a runout table.
Examples of some of the most commonly extruded shapes: angles, channels, and round tubes, It follows a surface treatment process which is majorly Anodizing.
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)
What Material we use for Aluminum Extrusion?
Aluminum Alloys in the 2000, 6000, and 7000 series. Precision extrusions and aluminum sheets across a range of Aluminum Alloys including: 6063-T5 and 6063-T6; 6061-T5 and 6061-T6; 6005-T5
- Custom profiles from simple to complex produced in most any size and length
- Applications include heat sinks, light bars, solar racking, hardware, automotive, EV battery compartments
- Secondary operations include precision CNC machining, drilling, tapping, reaming
Complete surface finishing is offered:
- Anodizing – clear, black, and custom colors
- Powder Coating – white, black, and custom colors
- NCP Conversion Coating – protective, corrosion-resistant, non-chromium passivation (RoHS compliant available)
Why Aluminum Extrusion?
- Light weight & Strong
- High in strength-to-weight material
- High corrosion resistant
- Excellent thermal & Electrical conductor
- Non-Sparking, Non-Magnetic, Non-combustible & Nontoxic & High Resilient
- Reflective & Seamless
- Easily tailored & Quick to Market
- Easy to fabricate & assemble
Limitations:
- The working conditions of the extrusion die are harsh and prone to wear
- The general extrusion speed is much lower than the rolling speed, and the geometric scrap loss and yield of extrusion production are low.
- Low production efficiency.
