What makes aluminum, extrusion?
Once the design questions have been answered, the actual extrusion process begins with billet, the aluminum material from which profiles are extrudedThe billet must be softened by heat prior to extrusionThe heated billet is placed into the extrusion press, a powerful hydraulic device wherein a ram pushes a dummy block that forces the softened metal through a precision opening, known as a die, to produce the desired shape.That is a simplified description of the process known as direct extrusion,
