Aluminum is a
popular material choice in many industries for several reasons - it's high
strength yet lightweight, has excellent malleability, is easy to machine, has
good conductivity (both thermal and electrical) and has excellent corrosion
resistance. In addition, Aluminum is non-magnetic and is non-toxic. It's also
very easy to recycle. Aluminum products can be found in most industries.
Extrusion takes place when a heated billet (aluminum log) is pressed
