Extrusion Design Manual

Our user-friendly 64-page manual includes information about the properties of aluminum, extrusion manufacture, surface treatments, packaging and recycling.

The Extrusion Design Manual has been written for the product developer, designer, design engineer, inventor, architect, buyer and anyone else involved in the design and production of products that could utilize aluminum extrusions. It has recently been updated, and is the culmination of knowledge gained from over 50 years of experience in aluminum extrusion and our continued commitment to aluminum extrusion research.

The guide is divided into two parts:

I.  The Extrusion Basics section gives a broad overview of aluminum extrusion and how best to incorporate it into your product design.

II.  The Technical Data section provides detailed information on aluminum alloys, design, structure and construction, fabrication, finishing, and surface treatments.
