It might be possible that you are not familiar with the concept of Aluminium extrusion, but you have been surrounded  by different  aluminium  extrusion products through your entire life.  Almost  all types of commercial  windows are encased  in aluminium case, the structural component of the  air flights are also designed and manufactured using this method, even the bottle of soft drinks  and cosmetic products are  made from extruded aluminium.

What is aluminium extrusion?

It is a technique used for transforming aluminium alloy into different shapes and objects with a definite cross sectional profile for a wide variety of purposes. There are several advantages of the extrusion process. The two main advantages are- it can easily create any complex cross-section. The second major advantage is it can form parts with excellent surface finish.  

Why aluminium are used for extrusion purposes?

Aluminium is widely available metal in the Earth’s crust. It has light weight  and good strength. It is also a good conductor of heat and  electricity. It can easily adept high temperature and thus preferred as the best metal for  manufacturing utensils.  It has good corrosion resistant quality and can offer you good services for several years. This metal is light in weight and can easily and economically fabricated in any sizes and shapes.  

How the extrusion process done?

The extrusion of aluminium is very simple and straightforward. In extrusion, the metal is heated just below the melting point and then pushed through different dies shaped  in order to get the final products.  Depending on the specification of products, aluminium cools and hardens at room temperature.  

Aluminium extrusion is not as simple as it sounds. One need  high-tech machinery and other necessary resources   to get superior quality products within low manufacturing costs. This is the main reason companies prefer to hire metal recycling companies. The metal recycling companies have all the resources, tools and machineries needed for manufacturing extrusion products  with the right shapes and at low manufacturing costs.
