How Is Aluminium Extruded? - Aluminium Casting and Extrusion

Aluminium is an extremely pliable and adaptable metal. Most of the aluminium that you will have come across in your own life will have been rolled or extruded, the two main types of finished aluminium products.
Aluminium Extrusion is the act of forcing heated aluminium logs (or billets), through a pre-cast steel die. This action squeezes the heated aluminium into a predetermined shape, thus creating an aluminium extrusion.
In this video, we explain the entire aluminium extrusion process at one of Norsk Hydro’s extrusion plants.
Interested in how the aluminium extrusion process is completed from inside a machine, from the aluminium point of view? This complimentary video shows the process virtually:

Aluminum video with my coffee break coffee? ☕️ Perfection.

[@mrmikks573]

Super well explained and shot!

[@rosswaring2835]

Very good, clear explanation of the processes.

[@abaddon2391]

I recently started learning to design those dies for complex profiles in a small german company. This video helped me alot to understand the extrusion process.

[@TechTomVideo]

What is the name of the company?

[@OlatunjiAdekunle1212]

Hello please I want to learn die design How can you help me ?

[@lylepetrov6505]

This video was brilliantly put together. My mild curiousity to know what an extrusion was began to increase as the video played gaining momentum of capturing totally my interest. This video presented an undemanding compendium of raw aluminium through a process which developes the magnificently designed finished creation. Thank you for the recount. Olso sure has a pretty night skyline.

Excelente video, I think are very interesting proceses

[@donalfinn4205]

Well done!👍☘️

[@kennylinda7303]

A good lesson. That reminds me of Galuminium's high-quality aluminium extrusion.

[@DalianHighlandMetalsCoLtd]

Superb.

[@fundodeoracao2017]

simplesmente genial

[@rickharold7884]

Beautiful

[@yunassaxer7119]

nice!

[@jacks19822]

what would be the MOQ required to work with you guys? 10 tons? or 100tons at a time?

[@TheCymbalProject]

I came here to gain a better understanding of the post extrusion straightening process and its general tolerance range.... lol... I work in marketing and just find the aluminum extrusion workflow fascinating.

[@matthewokunola5673]

Thanks

[@tlarson91119]

This place looks more advanced than the place I work at now. I've always done head stretching (to straighten the parts from the press), but dude said he could get me trained on operating one of the presses (the operator on my shift went to another shift), so I'm super nervous/scared/excited at the same time. xD LMAO

[@lindsayoneile]

Juju ok Jim JJ I I ujjjjjjjkikk

[@musaran2]

How many times is it heated ?

[@metalpartssupplier3948]

Simply perfect ! We are metal injection molding cpmpany in China!

[@y_x2]

How to you cast hollow tubes?

[@astroid9087]

Im amazed

[@onomeiainagindotan]

Wow

[@yangshirley5092]

I am working at a company that product different kinds of spercification heat resistance fiber .like kevlar and pbo rollers pads and felt cover of nomex ....lookingforward your cooperation

[@donaldbutcher1260]

The past tense of the verb to cast is cast, casted is not a word. Thank you, the grammar police.

[@manp1039]

is sapa publicly trade stock company? what is the stock ticker?

[@markusdel9704]

Sapa is owned by Norsk Hydro, stock ticker is NHY

[@wangterry5656]

Hi dear friend This is Terry from China. We are manufacturer of Metallurgical Materials. Our products are 1. Ceramic foam filter 2. Caster tips 3. Tap out cone 4. Hot-top casting 5. Refining flux and Bn 6.Online degassing and filtrating equipment whatsapp:[phone]

[@MeetYourArchitect]

I want to one day build a company just like Sapa.

[@josephastier7421]

8:25 OMG

[@ramiromanotas2670]

..

[@milxl]

that's what she said !

[@RonakDhakan]

How do you extrude something with a hole in it? [like a pipe]

[@NorskHydroASA]

Hi Ronak. We have made a separate video explaining the process of producing extruded aluminium profiles. Have a look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ3cpaVqhap3htU

[@RonakDhakan]

@@NorskHydroASA This is the same video and does not answer the question.

[@tlarson91119]

6:11 Does anyone know what that shape is for? we make that kind too. lol

[@flaviogianola6046]

I think it's the final part of a ramp

[@Kosmonooit]

I am sure they don't work in PSI or Inches or Fahrenheit in Norway

[@mistymisty9507]

A-lu-MI-NI-UM

[@PedroMarco94]

Fahrenheit???

[@johncurry852]

The U.S plants use Fahrenheit

[@Engineersoldinterstingstuff]

Aluminium does not change colour because it is not possible to heat to high temperatures. Water does not glow eather at its melting temperature...

[@rollformer5660]

Extrusion process line really big

[@metalexaluminiumtechnology9814]

Right

[@HunanGreatSteelPipeCoLtd]

Indulge in it and get enjoyment and pleasure.

[@MrSatyre1]

Casted?

[@Bearnasty2354]

What union are you guys represented by in the u.s?

[@michaelyakoboski113]

in cressona pa where most of this video was filmed it would be the united steel workers 🤮🤢🤮 I worked there in packing for 3 years. I'm just watching this for boredom cures

[@beaugalbraith3242]

"Sapa aluminum is the strong, lightweight, renewable material behind many of today's most innovative product designs"... Aluminum itself isn't renewable, so how does Sapa achieve renewable aluminum?

[@link12313]

Infinite reformability. That is what they mean by renewable.

[@pravindrasingh3056]

Aluminum is not a renewable resource. It is mined from the Earth like other metals, What is your questions,I don't understand what you want to ask

[@theenchiladakid1866]

Aloominium?

[@NorskHydroASA]

Aluminium, aluminum, aloominium... Whatever floats your boat :)

[@michaelsilkwood6129]

What the hell are u talking about.

[@MegaJohnhammond]

Sapa, Chinese quality at European prices.

[@coffeeisthepathtovictory1290]

Compared European made aluminum vs Chinese made aluminum recently?
