Metal Extrusion
Metal extrusion is a manufacturing process in which a piece of metal is forced through a die orifice to create a desired shape. The process involves heating the metal to a high temperature, typically above its recrystallization temperature, and then applying pressure to force it through the die. The shape of the die orifice determines the final shape of the extruded product.
Description
Metal extrusion is a versatile process that can be used to produce a wide range of shapes and sizes, from simple bars and tubes to complex profiles and cross-sections. It is commonly used with metals that have a high ductility, such as aluminum, copper, and brass. The process allows for the creation of parts with a high degree of precision and a smooth surface finish.
Some common applications for metal extrusion include the production of automotive and aerospace components, architectural and structural profiles, and mechanical and electrical parts. The process is particularly well-suited for producing long, continuous lengths of material, making it an efficient and cost-effective way to manufacture a large volume of parts.
Aluminum is a green material of choice. Aluminum’s inherent “green features” of recyclability and sustainability, coupled with its other unique attributes, make aluminum a versatile material for many applications, but the exciting story of aluminum doesn’t stop here.
Where the environment, time, cost and process repeatability are the important parameters, aluminum extrusions offer a material and process choice that is literally second to none for countless product applications.
The aluminum extrusion process involves the use of a hydraulic press to force heated (still solid, but malleable) aluminum alloy through a steel die.
