Aluminum Extrusions: Custom & Standard Profiles for Every Industry

Bonnell Aluminum specializes in high-performance aluminum extrusions, offering custom and standard profiles for a wide range of industries, including construction, automotive, industrial equipment, and consumer durable products. With decades of expertise and state-of-the-art extrusion technology, we provide precision-engineered aluminum extrusions designed for durability, strength, and versatility.

What is an Aluminum Extrusion?

Aluminum extrusion is a manufacturing process that transforms aluminum billets into specific shapes using a high-pressure extrusion press. The process involves:

  1. Preheating the Aluminum Billet – The raw aluminum is heated to a malleable state (typically 750–900°F).
  2. Extrusion Through a Custom Die – The heated aluminum is forced through a precision-machined die to create the desired cross-sectional profile.
  3. Cooling & Hardening – The extruded shape is rapidly cooled using water or air quenching.
  4. Stretching & Straightening – The profile is stretched to correct any distortions and ensure dimensional accuracy.
  5. Cutting to Length & Finishing – Extrusions are cut to customer specifications and may undergo finishing processes such as anodizing or machining.

 

This versatile process allows for the creation of complex shapes with superior strength-to-weight ratios, making aluminum extrusions ideal for lightweight, high-performance applications.
