Extrusion of
Aluminum Profiles

At FINAL SA, aluminum profiles are produced using the hot concurrent extrusion process. This versatile plastic deformation method allows for achieving the desired shape of the product in just one technological operation.

Extrusion enables the production of even the most complex cross-sectional shapes that meet the requirements of designers and engineers. Due to the versatility of this plastic deformation method, it is possible to produce products with high mechanical properties, proper chemical composition, dimensional accuracy, and high-quality surface finish.

Additionally, the external surface of aluminum profiles can be enhanced through anodizing or powder coating, which is also offered by FINAL SA.

The primary goal of FINAL SA is to provide its business partners with products in the most economical model based on the One-Stop-Shop principle. This means that the entire production process of profiles, from extrusion through prefabrication, surface enhancement, to logistics (and more), is managed by a single organization—FINAL!

 

Aluminum Profile Extrusion Plant with Advanced Presses

FINAL SA is a technologically advanced manufacturing facility specializing in the production of aluminum alloy profiles. Our machine park includes four fully automated hot concurrent extrusion lines. The key component of each line is the hydraulic press. Our presses feature pressing forces of 1600 tons, 2000 tons, and 2200 tons, and are equipped to produce products from billets with diameters of 7” and 8”.

The fourth aluminum extrusion press is part of a modern aluminum processing plant located in central Greater Poland, in Kuchary near Kalisz. This line includes a billet heating furnace with a loading ramp and saw, a 7” diameter press with a 1800-ton pressing force and feeder, a 50-meter long water-air cooled run-out table, a final saw with an automatic stacker, and an aging furnace with roller conveyors and a transport system.

The maximum width of profiles produced by FINAL SA is 220 mm, and the minimum wall thickness is 1 mm. FINAL SA has the capability to produce products in lengths ranging from just 6 mm up to 12 meters! However, it should be noted that the standard profile lengths are between 4 and 7 meters. All other lengths are subject to individual assessment.

Compared to other aluminum alloys, it has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity and the lowest mechanical properties. It is used in heat exchange solutions, automotive industry for fuel filters or reflectors, and in the chemical industry.
  • Alloy 6060 – The most popular in the extrusion profile industry due to its unique combination of mechanical properties and surface quality, suitable for decorative anodizing, and weldable by all methods. It is used in the construction industry (windows, doors, facades), interior finishing, electronics (heat sinks), packaging sector, automotive and transport industries, and advanced technologies.
  • Alloy 6063 – Known for good corrosion resistance, suitable for welding by all methods and anodizing, with mechanical properties superior to those of alloy 6060, and appropriate for anodizing. Examples of applications include the architectural industry (structures, ladders, roofing), automotive and transport industries (sides, floors).
  • Alloy 6005A – Notable for good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, suitable for welding, with possible surface protection through protective anodizing. It is most commonly used in the transport industry (trailer and bus structures) and construction for lightweight structures.
  • Alloy 6106 - Features good mechanical properties, weldability by all methods, good corrosion resistance, and possible surface protection through protective anodizing. Applications include the transport and automotive industries, construction, and lightweight structures.
  • Alloy 6082 – Known for the highest mechanical properties in the 6xxx series, with surface protection through protective anodizing, good corrosion resistance, and suitability for welding by all methods. This alloy is most frequently used in the construction industry for scaffolding and trusses, automotive industry for car construction, transport applications, and heavy-duty applications.

Extruded profiles for your industry

How does the extrusion of aluminum profiles work?

The extrusion process of aluminum profiles at FINAL SA is based on modern technologies, which allow for the production of profiles with high precision and quality. Thanks to the versatility of this method, we are able to deliver products that meet even the most demanding needs of our customers.

 

 

 

  • Preparation of the billet

    The extrusion process begins by heating aluminum billets to the appropriate temperature, usually in the range of 400-500°C. This process makes the aluminum pliable and ready for further processing.

  • Extrusion process

    The heated aluminum billet is placed in a hydraulic press, which, under immense pressure, forces the aluminum through a die. The die gives the profile its desired shape, allowing for the production of even the most complex cross-sections.

  • Coloring and sealing

    After exiting the die, the aluminum profile is cooled to halt structural transformation processes. Then, the profile is straightened, which ensures its proper strength and dimensional stability, and releases residual stresses resulting from the extrusion and cooling of the profile.

  • Cutting and finishing

    The next step is cutting the profiles to the appropriate lengths. The extruded aluminum profile, which must meet specific strength parameters, undergoes heat treatment called artificial aging. This process takes place at a temperature of approximately 200°C. At the client's request, surface refinement such as anodizing or powder coating can be applied. In this way, ready-to-use products meeting the highest quality standards are obtained.
