Stainless Steel Extrusion

Extrusion is a method of creating objects with a pre-decided cross-sectional profile

, most commonly in metal. The material is pressed or drawn through a die of the required cross-section. Two major advantages of the extrusion process are its ability to produce very complex cross-sections, and to utilise brittle materials since the material encounters only shear and compressive stresses. Extrusion results in finished parts with a high standard of surface finish.

Extrusion provides benefits not offered by alternative methods such as forging, casting, and machining from bar or plate stock. The quality benefits of extrusion include improved surface quality and superior flatness and straightness, all of which are critical for long-length structural operations.

Stainless steel offers an excellent option for creating extrusions for a large variety of uses due to its light weight, malleability, tensile strength, resistance to corrosion and relatively low cost. Stainless steel extrusions provide strong and light solutions for many architectural, construction and engineering designs. By making use of stainless steel extrusions, allows the production of highly complex and attractive shapes in a variety of sizes.

Stainless steel extrusions are used in a number of different sectors such as vehicle construction, architectural and structural engineering and high speed machining. In addition to these, standard and non-standard extrusions in stainless steel may be used for aircraft components, linear bearings, valve bodies, small arms, armoured vehicle louvres, boiler tubes, generator and turbine parts, bridge joints, railway parts, special tubular and constructional sections, vehicle suspension components and many more.

Another significant advantage of stainless steel extrusions is that stainless steel is fully recyclable. It is estimated that in an average stainless steel object, about 60% of the components are recycled. In other words, stainless steel extrusions provide an ecologically friendly option for a large variety of manufacturing and architectural processes.
