Aluminum Extrusion Parts Customized Aluminum Profiles for Various Industries

Definition of aluminum extrusion
Aluminum extrusion molding (or aluminum extrusion molding) is a plastic processing method that applies strong pressure to the aluminum billet placed in the mold cavity (or extrusion cylinder), forcing the aluminum billet to produce directional plastic deformation and extrude it from the die hole of the extrusion die, thereby obtaining the required cross-sectional shape, size and parts or semi-finished products with certain mechanical properties.
The principle of aluminum extrusion is similar to squeezing toothpaste. Under the action of pressure, the aluminum ingot is divided into several metal flows, which enter the welding chamber through the diversion hole, converge in the welding chamber, and are re-welded under high temperature, high pressure and high vacuum environment. Finally, it flows out through the gap between the mold core and the die hole, thus forming a tube or hollow profile that meets the size and performance requirements. If bending is required, a bending tool is added to the rear equipment.

Application of aluminum extrusion
Aluminum extrusion products are widely used in construction, transportation, electronics, home furnishing and other fields. With its excellent performance and characteristics, it provides innovation and development possibilities for various industries.
These include:
Electronic product heat sinks, electronic product housings, LED lighting profiles, aircraft structures, home appliances, automotive parts, bicycle racks, window and door frames, solar panel frames, conveyor structures, wind turbine components, display racks and retail fixtures, etc.

Advantages of aluminum extrusion process

1) Durability. Aluminum's corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance and weather resistance are one of its most significant advantages. Aluminum can naturally rust and resist corrosion without additional treatment.

2) Lightweight and strong. Aluminum weighs more than 33% less than steel while retaining most of its strength.

3) Good thermal conductivity. Aluminum's thermal conductivity is very similar to copper, but it is much lighter.

4) Fashionable appearance. Extruded aluminum can be painted, electroplated, polished, and anodized, which provides engineers with a wider range of appearance options than other materials.

5) Wide range of applications. Basically any cross-sectional shape can be formed by aluminum extrusion, so aluminum extrusion has a very wide range of applications, and engineers can design different cross-sections to meet the requirements of different application environments.

6) Easy secondary processing. Aluminum extrusions can be easily formed, cut, drilled, machined, stamped, bent and welded to suit specific purposes.
7) Short mold processing cycle and low cost. The mold for aluminum extrusion is simple, with a short processing cycle and low cost.
8) Absorb shock and deformation. In construction, aluminum extrusions can resist deformation caused by weather and building movement
9) Environmental protection. Aluminum is an environmentally friendly material and easy to recycle.
