Beyond Bars, Ts and Angles: Designing Aluminum Extrusions

Extruded aluminum components and assemblies find ready application in a host of applications, from building products to automotive components, alternative energy, machinery, electronics and medical products. And many product engineers and designers are familiar with the basics of the extrusion process and extrusion design. Yet questions remain about utilizing extrusion for “more challenging” applications.

• What alloys should I consider?
• How far can I “push the envelope” on profile design?
• How do the economics of extrusion-based solutions compare to alternatives?

This one-hour webinar will review the attributes of extruded aluminum that make it a material of promise for product designers and engineers, and the “practicalities” of extrusion design.
