Aluminum extrusion marries the abundance of aluminum to manufacturing methods that take into account the metal's special features. Guided by the aluminum extrusion process, the designer feels free to coordinate his or her design with five considerations. Those are the five factors that determine the specifics of each extrusion process.
Before ...

Armed with the proper controls, a manufacturer can use aluminum tube bending to create a smooth, round and wrinkle free, metal conduit. By becoming familiar with the different types of bending methods, the manufacturer can monitor the degree to which the bending process has been controlled.
A manufacturing set-up with a ...

Aluminum extrusion and aluminum welding go hand in hand. Extrusion allows for a variance in the thickness of the wall in whatever aluminum object that was created by the extrusion process. Because the wall can have a varying thickness throughout the object, that object can have something called a vee ...

The introduction of continuous casting of thin aluminum strip based on AA 1050 and AA 8011 causes a fundamental change in the microstructure and therefore physical and chemical properties of the material when compared to conventional working of DC or semi-continuous cast slabs.
One of the goals of rolling modernization program ...

Abstract:
A unique combination of properties makes aluminum one of our most versatile engineering and construction materials. A mere recital of its characteristics is impressive. It is light in mass, yet some of its alloys have strengths greater than that of structural steel.
It has high resistance to corrosion under the majority ...
