Thread: Aluminum extrusion

Can someone tell me what aluminum extrusion is?

Would also like to know, thanks.

Aluminum extrusion is a process by which aluminum alloy material is forced through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile. A powerful ram pushes the aluminum through the die and it emerges from the die opening. When it does, it comes out in the same shape as the die and is pulled out along a runout table. At a fundamental level, the process of aluminum extrusion is relatively simple to understand. If you need more info about aluminum extrusion, then it is readily available online.
