ALUMINUM EXTRUSION SERVICE

As one of the large aluminum extrusion manufacturers, LC Rapid aluminum
extrusion service offers high quality, cost-effective structural aluminium
extrusions(eg. h section aluminium channel) and one-stop aluminum extrusion
services to customers. With our professional and experienced engineering team
and advanced machines, we not only make excellent tools but we also offer
complex extruded parts as a custom aluminum extrusion manufacturer. Our custom
machining services can meet your specific needs. You can be rest assured
because we exercise strict quality control through the whole manufacturing
process guided by high quality standards of aluminium extrusion technology.
Regular testing and verifying at various stages of manufacturing ensure us
deliver an extraordinary quality product every time.

Aluminium Extrusion Technology
Aluminum extrusion is the process of forming the aluminum into the desired
shape and geometry. Firstly, the mold is fabricated according to the drawing.
And then extrude different types of custom aluminum extrusion profiles from the
mold by heating and forcing the aluminum billet through the die.

Aluminum extrusions are known for their great strength, lightweight, and good
conductivity, which make them an outstanding choice for diverse end-use
applications (e.g. enclosures and heat sinks). It is the most cost-effective
for high-volume production runs of metal parts due to the significantly low
unit price.

Advantages of Custom Aluminium Extrusion
Part Production
Piece price is significantly lower with standard aluminium extrusion services
versus other metal forming process.

Strength
Fabricated aluminium extrusions are very strong, making them suitable for cold
weather applications that require high strength. Aluminum extrusions also have
high rust and corrosion resistance.

Finishes Selection
Aluminum extrusions can be anodized, powder coated, polished, and etc.

Precision
We can conform to very tight tolerances base on customers requirements.

Aluminum Extrusion Process
After we receive your order, we will:
Step 1: Supply a complete cross-sectional drawing for you after review and
discuss about your CAD files.
Step 2: Fabricate dies and extrude a sample to get your approval.
Step 3: Make the modification on the die if needed.
Step 4: Exercise process control when extruding your parts.
Step 5: Select from a variety of finishes processing to achieve the effect you
want.
Step 6: Inspect finished extruded parts to avoid any dimension deviation.

Aluminum Extrusion Tolerance
The tolerance depends on shape and structure. If you need a very precise
tolerance, we can follow it once we confirm your designs.

Aluminum Extrusion Material
Alloy: 6060, 6063, 6061, 6082, 2A12, 2024, 5052, 7075 and etc. (Others
Available)

Aluminum Extrusion Finishes
Electrophoresis
After applying electrophoresis, you can get a glossy surface with excellent
impact resistance. The electrophoresis layer improves the resistance to
chipping, scratching, and fading.

Aluminum Extrusion Solutions
Solar Energy
Aluminum extrusion is transforming the solar energy industry with its
extraordinary physical properties such as strength, malleability, lightweight,
and high corrosion resistance. Aluminum is considered to be the preferred
state-of-the-art frames and structures for the solar panels, supports and
connectors.

Automotive
Aluminum is approximately one-third the weight of steel, but with the similar
strength with steel. Aluminum extrusion is helping car makers to reduce vehicle
weight precision, create innovative parts. Its quality and mass production
technologies have been proven by their actual applications such as bumper beam,
motor mount, frame members and other automobile parts.

Electronics
The custom aluminum extrusion has standout durability, high corrosion
resistance, weatherproof long-lasting property, which is why there are so many
electronics applications made by extrusion, including housings, heat sinks,
connectors.

Common Applications of Aluminum Extrusion Technology
Heat Sink
The extruded heat sink is the most commonly used type of heat sinks in the
market. The extrusion process makes it cost effectiveness, high quality and
excellent thermal conductivity.

Aluminium Profile
Aluminum profile is used in a wide range of applications due to it’s strong
tensile strength, flexibility, and durability.

Cylinder Tube
Aluminum cylinder tubes are playing a significant role in various industry
sectors.
