Copper Extrusions
I have a custom profile. Who can extrude it in this alloy, and what is the die cost?
What it is
Long product with a custom cross section produced by forcing heated billet through a shaped die. Used where a constant profile would otherwise have to be machined from plate, saving substantial material.
- Typical dimensions
- Circumscribing circle limits vary widely by press tonnage.
- Also known as
- extruded shapes, profiles, extruded sections, custom profiles
Suppliers
Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.
