China Manufacturer Directory >>Aluminum Extruded Shapes

Aluminum extruded shapes come in many forms, including angles, channels and tubing. Available in a wide range of sizes, aluminum extruded shapes can be standard or customized for a particular application. Aluminum as an extrusion metal is optimal due to the material’s combination properties. Although aluminum is one-third the weight of copper, brass or steel, the extrusion process results in very strong parts, because it can distribute the metal to where it is needed. Aluminum is self-protected from corrosion by its own thin, transparent oxide film.

Extruded aluminum shapes are also very versatile. As conventional equipment can readily form or bend extruded aluminum shapes, they can be reshaped to meet an application’s requirements. Aluminum extruded shapes also have high electrical conductivity, making them ideal for heat transfer and heat shield applications.

Extruded aluminum parts remain quite abundant and are used in vehicle components, computer parts, window and doorway frames, and kitchen and other domestic appliances. Aluminum extruded products are also often used as feedstock for aluminum wire, drawn tubing, and rod and bar products. Aluminum extrusions range in size from one-millimeter parts weighing a few ounces to parts several meters in length weighing one ton or more. Due to the wide variety available, aluminum extruded shapes consistently meet customer needs in the construction, automotive, medical, aerospace and telecommunications industries.
