Aluminium Extrusion

Dear folks! Aluminum extrusion is a process in which aluminum is forced into a custom made die and would result in a constant cross section that utilizes all the properties of the metal. Aluminum is the most versatile and rapidly available metal on the planet hence it is used in many industries. Aluminum products are widespread, light weight yet very strong and durable. It is also a good conductor of thermal and current. Aluminum extrusion has revolutionized the aluminum industry for many reasons. Using die means that aluminum can be shaped to designers’ exact design without any loss in cross section and tension in the metal.

The dies used in  aluminum extrusion are cheaper and they can have a long life. Hence it makes highly cost effective for the manufacturer. By using die, there is no additional machining involved in the process hence there is no waste and cost is less. It did not require any fabrication through welding. Automobile industry has a major use of aluminum extrusions. All latest models that enter the automobile production have aluminum extrusions used in some parts of the automobile. Aluminum extrusion is also used for sunroof channels. The channels should be a hard wearing and low friction surface. We can get high quality surface finish.
