Frequently asked questions
What is extrusion in the aerospace industry?
Extrusion is a metal forming process where material is pushed or drawn through a die to create a desiredcross-section. This method allows for the production of complex profile shapes.
What is the difference between extrusion and casting?
Casting is limited to low-melting-point metals like aluminum, magnesium, and copper. It has higher initial moldcosts and shorter mold life.
Extrusion, with lower startup costs, is ideal for short-run production. Unlike castings, extrusions are less limitedby size.
What is the difference between extrusion and rolling?
Extrusion allows for a wide variety of shapes, especially complex or continuous cross-sections, and offersflexibility in texture and finish customization.
Rolling produces flat sheets, either smooth or textured, and is best for uniform thickness.
What is the difference between drawing and extrusion?
Unlike extruded tubes and beams, drawn parts are pulled through a die multiple times to gradually reach the desireddimensions.
Extrusion pushes metal through a die in one pass, while drawing reduces the size with each pass until the finalshape is achieved.
How to distinguish forging from extrusion?
Forging uses high pressure to shape irregular, high-strength parts.
Extrusion pushes metal through a die to create continuous profiles with consistent cross-sections.
