Forging
Forging and Aluminium extrusion are two distinct processes, but they often complement each other in the manufacturing of high-performance components.
While extrusion involves forcing Aluminium through a die to create profiles, forging involves shaping metal through compression or impact, typically to achieve superior strength and durability.
The combination of both processes allows for creating lightweight yet robust components. Here are the key applications where Aluminium extrusion profiles are used in conjunction with or benefit from forging processes.
