A manufacturing process where material is pushed through a die to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile.
Extrusion is a continuous process where heated material, typically metals, polymers, or ceramics, is forced through a die to produce items with a uniform cross-section. This method is vital in various industries as it allows for the rapid production of complex profiles with high precision and efficiency, such as pipes, beams, and rods.
Aluminum pipes with a diameter of 10 cm (3.94 inches) and a wall thickness of 0.5 cm (0.20 inches) are produced using extrusion.
This is commonly used in the construction industry for plumbing and structural components.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) profiles with a cross-sectional dimension of 15 cm x 15 cm (5.91 inches x 5.91 inches) extruded at a temperature of 200°C (392°F).
Widely used in the manufacturing of window frames and doorways in the housing sector.
