Aluminum Extrusion
Aluminum Extrusion is a versatile manufacturing process that involves shaping aluminum alloy into profiles with a fixed cross-sectional design. The process begins by heating a cylindrical aluminum billet to a temperature between 400°C and 500°C, making it malleable. The softened aluminum is then forced through a precision-designed die using a hydraulic or mechanical press, taking on the die's shape to form continuous lengths of extruded profiles. These profiles are cooled, stretched to correct distortion, and cut to specified lengths before undergoing surface treatments (e.g., anodizing, powder coating) for enhanced durability and aesthetics.
