Extruded Casting

With generations of experience in the cast metal and foundry industry, Kormax is a trusted name among metal extrusion companies, offering high-quality aluminium extrusion and custom metal extrusion solutions. Our expertise ensures durable, precision-engineered materials that meet the demands of modern manufacturing and engineering projects.

Extrusion Process

The metal extrusion process is a high-production, metal-forming technique that utilises continuous cast billet, which undergoes pre-machining to remove oxides and casting impurities. During the extrusion process, a heated metal billet is pushed through a die, forming long sections with a consistent cross-sectional profile. The shape of the final product is determined by the die opening, allowing for customisable metal extrusion design.

This process applies high forces to the heated metal, creating extrusions with superior grain structure and enhanced mechanical properties, similar to forged parts. With aluminium extrusion and other extruded metal profiles, the result is a product with an exceptional surface finish, fine dimensional tolerances, and consistent strength.
