What Is Metal Extrusion?
Metal extrusion is a common process of metal forming in which the metal (either hot or cold) is forced through a device called a “die,” producing a specific shape or product. Dies are similar to molds; the primary difference, however, is that molds are generally used to form molten metal, while dies can shape from sheet metal and other solid forms.
Common Extruded Metals
A variety of metals are used for extrusions, depending on the industry, the demands of the project, the budget, and much more. At Polished Metals, we work with a variety of popular metals for extrusions, including custom products. These metals include:
- Aluminum – Perhaps the most common extruded metal, aluminum is ideal for the extrusion process due to its excellent forming characteristics. It may be hot or cold extruded and has the versatility to form a wide variety of shapes.
- Brass – Brass is another popular metal for extrusions, as it is often used for specifically shaped products where corrosion resistance is imperative. This can include rods, pipe fittings, and parts used in electrical components.
- Stainless Steel – Popular throughout the world, stainless steel is also fairly common in the metal extrusion space.
- Architectural Bronze – At Polished Metals, we maintain a broad inventory of extruded architectural bronze and can also produce custom extrusions for this versatile metal as needed.
