The aluminum extrusion process transforms aluminum alloy into cross-sectional products. This process has an incredibly wide variety of different applications. Aluminum is especially well-suited for extrusion, as it is uniquely malleable and stable. Aluminum Extrusion Design. When beginning the process of aluminum extrusion design, there are many factors to be considered. One of
The use of aluminum extrusion in product design and manufacturing has increased significantly in recent decades. According to a recent report from Technavio, between 2019-2023 the growth of the global aluminum extrusion market will be accelerating with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of almost 4%.. Perhaps you’ve heard of this manufacturing process and are
6.**Aluminum Alloys Used in Extrusion** The malleability, strength, and lightweight nature of aluminum make it a popular choice in various industries. However, pure aluminum has its limitations. To enhance specific properties and make the metal suitable for different applications, aluminum is alloyed with other elements. These combinations, known as
Aluminum extrusion is a technique of forcing aluminum alloy material into a die having a predetermined cross-sectional shape. A substantial ram pushes the aluminum via the die and exits from the die aperture. It emerges in the exact form of the die and is hauled off along a runout table when this happens.

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 die. The die is cut with the desired profile shape, causing the hot metal to take ...
6000-series alloys are most frequently used for extrusion, as they provide a good balance of strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, machinability, and surface finish,. For these reasons, the 6xxx alloys are used in a wide variety of applications, including transportation, architectural, consumer products and electrical. Silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) are the major alloying
Beyond alloy selection, temper, which is the hardness and strength imparted to the metal by mechanical or thermal treatment, determines the ultimate physical performance of an aluminum extrusion. Non-heat-treatable alloys, including1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx series, develop strength via cold work after extruding, if the section shape permits.
