Amazing production moves like a well oiled clock

[@spyroschaskis7984]

What about strain-hardened Aluminum series? After extrusion do they be submitted to heat-treating?

[@johnnyappleseed4492]

I think they use what they call an age oven

[@samuelcalderon3807]

Could i have more información about this process.. or where could i find more information about all the process temperature alloy and everything?

[@NorskHydroASA]

Hi Samuel. Could you be more specific about what you need? We have some information on extruded profiles on this page: www.hydro.com/en-NO/aluminium/products/extruded-profiles/

How do you extrude complex shapes that have voids in the middle, such as pipes?

[@Eli-kv7tx]

I believe you would just extrude the whole thing, send it over to a CNC/fabrication shop (which Hydro has), then use a CNC machine, saw, or punch where you need it in the middle, then probably weld it on. I'm not an expert, I just have worked in the same industry where Hydro has worked as an operator (worker bee).

[@kevinkesler8154]

The center hollow is formed as part of the die and extruded as such. I work in maintenance at one of the American plants.

[@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28]

@@kevinkesler8154 I'd like to see it, because explaining it just doesn't allow my mind to comprehend how that works. Thanks though.

[@simplextm]

There are 2 main processes.
1) a Mandrel attached to the ram pushes the billet with the inside void in mind.
2) a porthole die which makes separate pieces and welded back together before coming out of the press. Its weld is seamless so it looks natural.

[@pseltoro4]

You keep pronouncing and ALUMINUM incorrectly. Please adjust.

[@NorskHydroASA]

Aluminum is the American and Canadian spelling. The spelling that we use, aluminium, is the preferred spelling outside North America. So no, we will not adjust. =)
