Aluminum Extrusion Applications At Northern States Metals, the range of extrusion applications is almost endless.
Few applications are too big or too small.
Almost any quantity may be practical if the shape fits the extrusion process. Perhaps more than any other forming process, aluminum extruding offers the designer a real creative challenge. One of the key reasons for the growth of extrusion applications is that cost of dies is nominal. Also, complex shapes almost always cost less extruded rather than formed, rolled or machined. A simple die for a solid shape for example, cost less.
