Aluminum Extrusion
Extrusion is a process that produces long lengths of material of
continuous cross section. In the extrusion process solid metal is forced
through a die at high pressure and often high temperature, depending on
the specific process used. Extrusion can produce parts with complicated
cross sections that would be difficult or impossible to form by other
methods. Extruded material can be cut into pieces to form
individual parts. These parts may be post-machined to add additional
features. ChinaForgeTM can powder coat your extruded profile
in any color.
