extrusion
Extrusion is a process in which a metal billet is forced through a die with a particular shape to construct long bodies of fixed cross-section. This process is used to manufacture rods, tubes, and fabricated structures with great precision by controlling parameters, in particular metals like aluminum and copper. Extrusion offers numerous benefits, including optimally profiled shaping with minimal waste.


Key Features:

  • Continuously Cross-Sectioned: Parts with a constant cross-section throughout their full length make this process very useful for creating frames, channels, and bars used in structural applications.
  • Material Versatility: Several types of metals can be extruded, especially softer metals like aluminum, copper, and magnesium. This offers the opportunity for versatile design and application.
  • Process Options: The two major types—hot extrusion and cold extrusion—give them a chance to select the one that is more suitable to them as per their materials and to meet the requirements of the finished product. Hot extrusion makes it possible to produce more complex shape profiles, while cold extrusion increases strength and surface finish.

    Today, extrusion is shaping up as an extremely important process in modern manufacturing and for the production of both lightweight and strong components for the construction, automotive, aerospace, and even electronics industries. For instance, extruded aluminum sections form window frames, cells for automobile bodies, and parts of aircraft largely because of their strength and corrosion resistance. The industries turn to using the materials better with precise design detentions; of course, extrusion is still the process of choice for creating bespoke and sustainable solutions across applications.
