The aluminum extrusion process is the shaping of the material by pushing aluminum through a hole in different molds. Thanks to this process, it is possible to produce aluminum extrusion profiles in different shapes. The aluminum extrusion process, which is suitable for mass production, is carried out with various stages.
Aluminum is a durable material that can be easily shaped in terms of its properties. However, preheating the aluminum billets in the extrusion process allows the aluminum to take shape more easily. Since the shape of aluminum profiles is variable according to the area of use, different forms of aluminum extrusion molds are preferred in the extrusion process.
Features of Aluminum Extrusion Products
Extrusion process is carried out by aluminum extrusion companies. Aluminum profiles produced with extrusion molds offer the properties of aluminum, which is its raw material.
- Aluminum profiles are much lighter when compared to profiles made of steel and iron materials.
- It is resistant to adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow and gases.
- Since aluminum is a good conductor, it is a good conductor in profiles produced by aluminum extrusion method.
- Aluminum profiles, which have an elastic structure, have a structure that is resistant to sudden impacts.
- The usage area of aluminum extrusion profiles is extremely wide. It is preferred in many different sectors from energy to construction and transportation.
- Aluminum extrusion profiles, produced with extrusion molds in different forms, stand out with their wide product range.
- Aluminum extrusion products have an attractive appearance for exterior architecture. For this reason, it is often preferred in architectural designs.
- It has a corrosion resistant structure.
Usage Areas of Aluminum Extrusion Products
Aluminum extrusion products are preferred in many different sectors due to the advantages they provide. Heat-resistant aluminum extrusion products are also used in the field of energy because they are good conductors. We can list the usage areas of aluminum products produced by the extrusion method as follows:
- Transportation vehicles such as automobiles, ships, trains, subways, cars, airplanes,
- Facade cladding systems of buildings, windows, doors,
- Electrical industry,
- Machinery and equipment manufacturing,
- Chemical industry,
- Food industry,
- Spacecraft.
Aluminum extrusion profiles have a wide range of usage areas. With its durable structure, it is preferred by every sector and has a long lifespan.
