View PricingAluminum Extrusion Manufacturing
Aluminum extrusion manufacturing is a process used to create objects with a specific cross-sectional profile by pushing heated aluminum through a die. This process offers numerous advantages, such as versatility, cost-effectiveness, and a wide range of design possibilities.
Process
The process starts with the extrusion billet, which is a round aluminum log. The billet is heated to a specific temperature, typically between 750 and 900 degrees Fahrenheit, to make it more malleable. It is then loaded into a press, which forces the heated aluminum through a shaped opening called a die. The die determines the final shape and size of the extruded aluminum.
Once the aluminum is forced through the die, it is cooled using air or water. This rapid cooling helps to harden the aluminum and maintain its desired shape. After cooling, the extruded aluminum is cut to the desired length and may undergo additional processes such as machining, surface treatment, or fabrication.
Advantages
Aluminum extrusion offers several advantages over other manufacturing processes:
- Versatility: Aluminum extrusion allows for the creation of complex shapes and profiles that cannot be easily achieved using other methods. It offers immense design flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
- Cost-effectiveness: The extrusion process is highly efficient, as multiple pieces can be produced simultaneously. It also minimizes material waste, resulting in cost savings. Additionally, aluminum is a relatively low-cost material compared to other metals.
- Lightweight: Aluminum is a lightweight material, making it desirable for applications where weight reduction is important. Despite its lightweight properties, aluminum exhibits excellent strength and durability.
- Corrosion resistance: Aluminum has a natural resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor applications or environments with high humidity.
- Recyclability: Aluminum is highly recyclable, allowing for efficient reuse of scrap and reducing environmental impact.
Applications
The versatility of aluminum extrusion makes it suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. Some common applications include:
- Architectural and construction: Aluminum extrusions are widely used in the construction industry for window frames, door frames, curtain walls, and other structural components.
- Transportation: Aluminum extrusions find applications in the automotive, aerospace, and marine industries, including components such as heat sinks, tubing, and chassis.
- Electronics: Extruded aluminum is used for heat sinks and electrical enclosures due to its thermal conductivity properties.
- Consumer goods: Aluminum extrusions are used in the production of household items such as furniture, lighting fixtures, and appliances.
- Industrial: The industrial sector utilizes aluminum extrusions for manufacturing equipment, machinery frames, and various structural components.
Overall, aluminum extrusion manufacturing provides a cost-effective and versatile solution for creating complex shapes and profiles in a wide range of industries. Its combination of strength, lightweight properties, and recyclability make it a preferred choice for many applications.

Throughout this year, global aluminum prices continuously grew and in October 2021 gained 62% compared to October 2020. China's output has decreased due to restrictions on energy usage and halted production at a 300K-ton capacity factory in Yunnan province. As a consequence, the average yearly price in 2022 is projected to rise by 6% y-o-y. Despite rising prices, the U.S., the world´s largest aluminum importer, expanded its purchases by 4.5% against 2020.
Prices for aluminum this year will remain low thanks to the consistent growth in global production of the metal overcoming obstacles caused by the pandemic. In the mid-term, demand for aluminum in the construction sector and car manufacturing is forecast to steadily rise. The rapid development of alternative energy sources will also drive the market up because aluminum is used in the production of solar batteries, wind generators and other components of energy facilities. In China, the launch of quotas on greenhouse gas emissions could lead to higher prices for aluminum as production for the metal in the country leaves a heavy carbon footprint.
