PROFILE FLOW WALL DESIGN

Keep Wall Thickness Consistent

Uniform walls support consistent material flow and help reduce uneven cooling, distortion and visible surface variation.

Avoid abrupt transitions between thick and thin sections.

CORNER DESIGN MATERIAL FLOW

Use Appropriate Corner Radii

Rounded internal and external corners support smoother flow and reduce concentrated stress within the profile.

Replace unnecessary sharp corners with practical radii.

HOLLOW SECTIONS DIE DESIGN

Simplify Internal Cavities

Hollow sections can reduce weight and improve stiffness, but complex cavities increase tooling and process sensitivity.

Use clear, balanced cavities whenever the function allows.

PROFILE BALANCE STABILITY

Balance the Cross-Section

Balanced material distribution can improve extrusion flow, cooling behavior, straightness and dimensional consistency.

Avoid concentrating most of the material on one side.

DIMENSIONAL CONTROL TOLERANCES

Apply Tolerances by Function

Overly tight tolerances can increase tooling adjustments, inspection requirements and secondary machining.

Separate critical dimensions from general dimensions.

SECONDARY MACHINING ALLOWANCE

Plan Machining Allowance

Add sufficient material where precision faces, holes, slots or mating features will be machined after extrusion.

Define all machined areas clearly in the component drawing.

Aluminum Alloy material

6061

Description

6061 is a multi-functional alloy, which can be heat treated to 6061-T6 and other tempering. Magnesium and silicon are the main alloy elements that can endow materials with high structural strength, toughness and weldability.

characteristic

High toughness,
Good weldability,
Corrosion resistance,

Aluminum Alloy material

6063

Description

6063-T5 is a very economical heat treatable alloy with a smaller grain structure than 6061 alloys. 6063 is more common for extrusions than 6061. It can form parts with thin walls and responds well to finishing processes, making it suitable for decorative applications.

01 What information do you need to quote my aluminum extrusion project?

Please send your 2D drawing or 3D model, preferred aluminum alloy and temper, required profile length, tolerances, surface finish, estimated quantity and any secondary machining or assembly requirements.

02 Which aluminum alloys are available for extrusion?

Common options include 6061, 6063, 6005A and 6082. The appropriate alloy and temper depend on the profile geometry, required strength, corrosion resistance, machining and surface finishing requirements.

03 Can you manufacture custom profile cross-sections?

Yes. We support custom solid, hollow and semi-hollow profiles. Profile geometry, wall thickness, internal cavities and functional features are reviewed before the extrusion die is manufactured.

04 What tolerances can aluminum extrusions achieve?

Achievable tolerances depend on profile size, wall thickness, alloy, geometry, straightness and feature location. Critical dimensions are reviewed individually, and secondary machining can be used where tighter control is required.

05 Is custom tooling required for aluminum extrusion?

A dedicated extrusion die is normally required for a custom cross-section. Tooling cost and lead time depend on the profile size, complexity and whether the design is solid, hollow or semi-hollow.

06 Can you provide machining and surface finishing?

Yes. Secondary services can include precision cutting, CNC milling, drilling, tapping, deburring, anodizing, powder coating, brushing, polishing and hardware installation.

07 Can you support samples and ongoing production?

Yes. We support profile development, extrusion samples, dimensional verification and ongoing production. Project requirements are evaluated according to tooling, material, quantity and secondary processing needs.
