Extruded Aluminum Products
Aluminum's superior malleability is essential for extrusion. With the metal either hot or cold, this property is also exploited in the rolling of strips and foils, as well as in bending and other forming operations. Aluminum alloys commonly have tensile strengths of between 70 and 700 Mpa. The range for alloys used in extrusion is 150-300 Mpa. In addition, unlike most grades of steel, aluminum does not become brittle at low temperatures. Instead, its strength increases.
These characteristics combined with the recyclability of aluminum make it an ideal material for many applications in a wide variety of industries such as custom aluminum extrusions.
