What Is Aluminum Extrusion?
Aluminum extrusion is a precision forming process that pushes heated aluminum billets through a hardened steel die to produce continuous profiles with consistent cross-sections. The process allows for complex geometries with tight tolerances, combining lightweight strength, excellent conductivity, and superior corrosion resistance — ideal for applications such as frames, enclosures, and heat sinks.
At ZH Precision, we utilize advanced extrusion presses, precision die engineering, and controlled thermal processes to manufacture both standard and custom aluminum profiles. Our in-house capabilities — including CNC machining, surface finishing, and quality inspection — ensure exceptional dimensional accuracy, surface integrity, and production efficiency for projects of any scale.
Standard Aluminum Extrusion Profiles
Standard aluminum extrusion profiles refer to a range of common aluminum shapes typically used for structural framing, mechanical assemblies, support systems, and more. Each shape serves a specific function, offering unique benefits to meet diverse engineering requirements. Common profiles include circular, square, T-shaped, L-shaped, and C-shaped, with each shape customizable to suit specific mechanical, structural, or aesthetic needs.
- T-Slot
- Aluminum Angles
- T-Bars, H-Bars, Z-Bars
- Beams
- U-Channels
- Hat Channels
- Rectangular Tubes
- Round Tubes & Pipes
These profiles are manufactured to tight tolerances and can be customized with different finishes (such as anodizing or powder coating) for enhanced durability and aesthetics.
