What is aluminum extrusion?

Aluminium extrusion is a process where aluminium alloy is transformed into items with a specific cross-sectional outline for subsequent wide-ranging uses. A simpler definition would refer to aluminium being squeezed all the way through an orifice.

What is considered extruded aluminum?

Extrusion is defined as the process of shaping material, such as aluminum, by forcing it to flow through a shaped opening in a die. Extruded aluminium emerges as an elongated piece with the same profile as the die opening.

How does aluminum extrusion work?

Aluminum extrusion is defined as a process by which aluminum is forced to flow through a shaped opening in a die. A powerful press pushes the aluminum through the die and it emerges from the die opening. The outcome is a long profile with the same shape as the opening in the die.

How strong is Aluminium extrusion?

Aluminum extrusions can be made as strong as what we need and, due to the nature of the extrusion process, the strength can be focused on where it is really needed by increasing wall thicknesses and adding internal reinforcement in the profile design. Cold-weather applications are well, as profile aluminium extrusion becomes stronger as temperatures fall.

What is the difference between cast aluminum and extruded aluminum?

Extrusion is defined as the process of shaping material, such as aluminium, by forcing it to flow through a shaped opening in a die. Cast aluminium is the resulting product created after molten aluminum is poured into a mold.
