During the aluminum extrusion process, aluminum billets are typically heated to temperatures between 400°C and 500°C.
At this temperature range, aluminum becomes soft enough to flow through the extrusion die without melting. This allows manufacturers to form complex profile shapes while maintaining good mechanical properties.
The exact extrusion temperature depends on several factors, including the aluminum alloy type, extrusion speed, and die design.
Maintaining the correct temperature is essential for ensuring high-quality aluminum profiles with smooth surfaces and accurate dimensions.
