Commonly produced shapes include angles, tubing, and channels, and can be customized to very close tolerances for numerous types of applications. Extruded aluminum shapes can be found in automotive and construction parts, domestic appliances, computers, architectural components, and a wide variety of products, including window frames, railings and bicycles. These shapes can range in size from one millimeter to several feet long.

The process of aluminum extrusion results in very durable parts and shapes. Aluminum has excellent corrosion resistance and is very flexible. It can be joined through the use of soldering, welding, or brazing. Aluminum’s heat conductivity makes it ideal for use in products that provide heat shielding or heat transfer. The surface of the extruded aluminum parts can also be finished in a variety of ways which makes it architectural aluminum perfect for architects, including anodizing, painting and powder-coating, to give the product a particular appearance or to accommodate specific performance requirements.
