The Aluminum Extrusion Process
Extrusion is a metal-forming operation for fabricating strips of material with a consistent profile. Aluminum alloys are commonly used in this process. Here we’ll cover the process of aluminum extrusion, design considerations, and more. What is Aluminum Extrusion? In aluminum extrusion, a very hot, but not molten, piece of aluminum alloy is pushed through a…
