How are aluminum profiles made?

Aluminum profiles are made through a series of processes starting with the selection of high-quality aluminum ingots. These ingots are melted in a furnace and then extruded through a die to create the desired profile shape. The extrusion process involves forcing the molten aluminum through a shaped opening in the die, which gives the aluminum its final form. After extrusion, the profiles are cooled, straightened, and cut to length. They may then undergo secondary processes such as anodizing, powder coating, or painting for enhanced durability and appearance. Finally, the profiles are inspected for quality and packed for distribution.
