Principles and Advantages of Aluminum Extrusion Machining

Aluminum Extrusion Machining Principle


Aluminum extrusion machining is a plastic processing method that applies strong pressure to the aluminum billet placed in the mold cavity (or extrusion barrel), forcing the aluminum billet to produce directional plastic deformation and extrude it from the die hole of the extrusion die, thereby obtaining parts or semi-finished products with the required cross-sectional shape, size, and certain mechanical properties. Aluminum extrusion machining's working principle is similar to "squeezing toothpaste". This metal forming method has many significant advantages.


Advantages of Aluminum Extrusion Machining


Durable and Strong Corrosion Resistance


One of the biggest advantages of aluminum is its excellent corrosion resistance. The aluminum oxide protective film naturally formed on the surface of aluminum allows aluminum to maintain good weather resistance in most environments, even without additional treatment. After anodizing, the corrosion resistance of aluminum is further improved. This feature allows aluminum extrusion machining products to work stably for a long time in outdoor environments without frequent maintenance.


Lightweight and Strong, Outstanding Performance


The density of aluminum is 33% lighter than that of steel, but it still maintains high strength. The tensile strength of aluminum alloys is usually between 70-700 MPa, which makes it an ideal structural material in industries such as construction, automotive, and aviation. In the automotive industry, aluminum extrusion machining parts not only help reduce vehicle weight but also effectively improve fuel efficiency and reduce energy consumption.


Excellent Thermal Conductivity


Aluminum has similar thermal conductivity to copper, but is much lighter. Aluminum extrusion machining parts can be cleverly designed to maximize their thermal conductive surface area and form an efficient heat channel. For example, in computer CPU heat sinks, aluminum is often used to remove heat to ensure the stable operation of electronic equipment.


Low Mold Cost


The mold design of aluminum extrusion machining is relatively simple, with a short processing cycle and low cost. Compared with other metal forming processes, aluminum extrusion machining can significantly reduce the cost of mold making and accelerate the launch of products to the market.


Enhanced Shock Resistance


Aluminum extrusion machining parts have good impact resistance, which is particularly important in the fields of construction and transportation. Aluminum alloy extrusions can effectively absorb impact energy and maintain strength and flexibility under load, thereby reducing the impact of external forces on the structure and improving safety.


Environmentally Friendly and Easy to Recycle


Aluminum is an ideal material for sustainable development. It is not only lightweight, corrosion-resistant and strong, but also very environmentally friendly and can be recycled and reused efficiently. The recycling of aluminum not only reduces resource waste, but also helps reduce the impact on the environment.
