Aluminum extrusion is a manufacturing process that involves shaping aluminum material by forcing it through a die with a specific cross-sectional profile. The result is a long piece of aluminum with a consistent cross-section that can be cut to various lengths and used for a wide range of applications. In this article, we will explore the benefits of aluminum extrusion and the various materials, components, and finishes available for this process.


One of the main advantages of aluminum extrusion is its versatility. Aluminum extrusions can be designed to have virtually any shape, including complex geometric profiles. This flexibility makes aluminum extrusion ideal for creating a wide range of products, from simple brackets and enclosures to complex structures for aerospace and automotive applications.


Another advantage of aluminum extrusion is its strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum is a lightweight metal, yet it is also incredibly strong and durable. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where weight is a concern, such as in the construction of aircraft and automobiles.


In addition to its strength and versatility, aluminum extrusion also offers excellent corrosion resistance. Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further oxidation and corrosion. However, there are also various finishes and coatings available that can enhance the corrosion resistance of aluminum extrusions even further.


When it comes to materials for aluminum extrusion, there are several options available. The most commonly used material is 6063-T5 aluminum, which is a high-quality alloy that is strong, durable, and easy to extrude. Other aluminum alloys, such as 6061-T6 and 6005-T5, can also be used for aluminum extrusion.


In addition to the aluminum material itself, there are various components and finishes that can be added to aluminum extrusions to enhance their performance and appearance. Some of the most popular components include fasteners, hinges, and brackets, which can be integrated into the extrusion design. Finishes and coatings include anodizing, powder coating, and painting, which can add color, durability, and corrosion resistance to the extrusion.


Overall, aluminum extrusion is a versatile and cost-effective manufacturing process that can be used to create a wide range of products. With its strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and flexibility in design, aluminum extrusion is an excellent choice for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction. By choosing the right materials, components, and finishes, manufacturers can create aluminum extrusions that are tailored to their specific applications and requirements.


Additional Notes for Fasteners with Aluminum: Aluminum fasteners are very soft and therefore have low physical durability.  As a result, we do NOT stock them.  However, there are some applications where they are useful, such as parts that have service in corrosive liquids such as salt water.  Other combinations of dissimilar metals can cause galvanic corrosion.
