What is Extruded Aluminum
Generally speaking, extruded aluminum refers to aluminum products that are extruded to obtain aluminum products with different cross sections and shapes. The following is a detailed description of aluminum extrusion:
- Aluminum extrusion processing refers to the application of strong pressure to an aluminum billet placed in an extrusion barrel, so that the billet produces directional plastic deformation and is extruded out of the die holes of the extrusion die, thus obtaining the cross-sectional shapes required by the industry. Its principle is similar to squeezing toothpaste, in which the aluminum metal is utilized to change shape through the die during the plastic process to finally obtain the desired product shape.

- Secondly, in the aluminum extrusion needs to preheat the aluminum bar blank to a certain temperature. This reduces the strength and hardness of the solid aluminum and improves the plasticity of the next extrusion process. Next, the preheated die is placed inside the press machine and the aluminum rods are cut to fill the hopper inside the extruder. pressure is applied by the piston of the extruder to squeeze the aluminum rods into the die to reform their shape.
- Thirdly, because during the extrusion process the aluminum rods are limited by the die to form the desired shape. During this process, plant managers need to control the pressure and internal temperature to ensure that the extruded aluminum does not break or deform. Finally, after the extrusion is completed, the extruded aluminum will be cooled to obtain the extruded aluminum that the customer needs.
- Fourthly, extruded aluminum is widely used in the field of our life. Due to the low cost, high strength and plasticity of aluminum extrusion, it meets the needs of various industries. Its applications include: interior architecture, marine, automotive, photovoltaic and aerospace, among others.
In summary, aluminum extrusion is a type of aluminum profile obtained by extrusion. It uses pressure and temperature to deform the aluminum metal in a die to achieve the desired shape. It is characterized by corrosion resistance, high strength and high production efficiency. Therefore, it can be used in various fields and industries.
