Stainless Steel 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.
