Profile, irregular profiles can be collectively referred to as extrusion die profile, this is a kind of aluminum used in special occasions. It is different from the general profile, industrial aluminum profiles in the assembly line, and the profiles for doors and Windows. Conventional aluminum profiles are widely used, and general manufacturers have ready-made molds, so many manufacturers are willing to produce this series of conventional aluminum profiles. But sometimes the conventional aluminum profile can not meet the needs of use, it is necessary to re-open the mold, make design and do extrusion. Thus customers need to provide specific THREE-DIMENSIONAL drawings, and then the technology can evaluate the price and whether it can be extruded, generally speaking, profiles of too thin wall thickness can’t be extruded, and those of too large section can’t be extruded. The price of die extrusion is based on the section size + processing fee + aluminum ingot price.
Not all aluminum manufacturers can do extrusion and make mold, need an extruder to complete the extrusion work. Commonly used extruders are 3600 tons, 1200 tons, 2300 tons, 2800 tons, 800 tons, 100 tons and so on. When booting there’s boot fee, but normally quantity over a certain amount , the boot fee is free. It depends on different mill’s manafuactuering standard.
Profile die leadtime is 10-25 working days, why such a long time? Because the mold production needs polishing, oxidation, then testing, but can not guarantee that it can be used, need constantly debug the mould. Even if it is finished, the sample should be sent to the customer for approval first before mass producing, so its leadtime is longer than the conventional aluminum profile.
There’re requirements for the mold materials, the first thing is confirming the profile specific details, otherwise the profile can’t be used. After all, the toughness and processability of different materials are not the same.
