Ausextrusion

Ausextrusion is a manufacturing process used to create objects with a fixed cross-sectional profile. The process involves forcing a material, typically a metal or plastic, through a shaped die. The material is heated to a malleable state, making it easier to deform. As the material is pushed through the die, it takes on the desired shape of the die's opening. Once the material has passed through the die, it cools and solidifies, retaining the extruded shape. This method allows for the production of long, continuous pieces with uniform cross-sections. Common applications include the manufacturing of window frames, pipes, and structural components. The choice of material and the complexity of the die determine the final product's properties and applications. Ausextrusion can produce intricate shapes and is known for its efficiency in mass production. Different types of extrusion exist, including hot extrusion and cold extrusion, each offering distinct advantages depending on the material and desired outcome.
