Aluminium extrusion is a manufacturing process in which aluminium alloy material is forced through a die to produce profiles with a specific cross-sectional shape. Extrusion creates aluminium profiles in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Common profiles include flat bars, equal angles, hexagons, rounds, squares, U-channels, open-backs, and custom designs tailored to meet specific client requirements across industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace. The 6000 series aluminium extrusion alloys, such as 6060, 6063, 6061, 6082, 6005, 6005A, 6101, 6106, 6261, 6066 and 6463 are medium strength, heat treatable alloys containing magnesium and silicon as their principal alloying elements, often with small additions of manganese or copper. They offer a balanced combination of tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and good extrudability, making them widely used in architectural, structural, transportation, and solar applications. In contrast, the 1000 series alloys, with at least 99% aluminium content and minimal alloying elements, are non-heat-treatable, highly ductile, and provide excellent corrosion resistance and superior electrical and thermal conductivity, though with low mechanical strength, making them suitable for electrical, chemical, and non-structural applications.
