Aluminum Profile Extrusion
Our aluminum extrusion factories play a central role in our
industrial organization.
They are responsible for the production of the profiles that make up the majority of the parts
used in our products.
Thanks to high-performance equipment, we are able to process
aluminum with consistency and reliability.
This integrated production capacity allows us to secure our supply and tailor our profiles to our needs.
Aluminum extrusion involves transforming a billet that has been heated into a profile
with a constant cross-section.
The material, made malleable by heating, is forced under high pressure through
a die that determines the shape of the profile.
It is then cut to the desired lengths before undergoing additional machining or finishing operations.
Inspection Office
Our inspection department monitors the dies and ensures the profiles’ compliance after extrusion.
The dies can be modified to precisely adjust the dimensions,
squareness, and geometry of the profiles.
Each adjustment helps progressively optimize the results obtained during
production.
After extrusion, the profiles undergo rigorous dimensional inspections.
Widths, heights, thicknesses, and squareness are verified to ensure their
conformity.
This essential step ensures the consistency and quality of our profiles before
their use.
All of this is part of our quality approach implemented throughout the production process.
Our Aluminum Alloys
We use aluminum alloys from the 6000 series—
aluminum–magnesium–silicon—which are particularly well-suited for the production of extruded profiles.
Aluminum 6060 T5 (silicon 0.60%, magnesium 0.60%, copper 0.10%)
stands out for its excellent extrusion properties and surface quality.
Aluminum 6103 T5 (silicon 1.00%, magnesium 1.50%, copper 0.30%) offers
a good balance between mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and extrusion suitability.
We select either the 6060 T5 or 6103 T5 alloy based on the requirements of
each application, in order to best tailor the mechanical performance and
characteristics of the profile.
