Our Aluminium Extrusion Supply Process

From die manufacture to delivery, we coordinate technical assessment, manufacturer selection, quality control and logistics.

RAU Metals die shop - profile die design and manufacturing RAU Metals die shop - profile die design and manufacturing

Die Shop

The steel dies used to shape extrusion profiles are manufactured using high-precision CNC machines. We coordinate die manufacture with experienced production partners to meet project requirements for dimensional accuracy, manufacturability and die life, including complex cross-sections.

Extrusion

Heated aluminium billets are forced through purpose-made dies on high-tonnage extrusion presses to form the required profile shape. We select a suitable production partner according to the alloy, press capacity and profile characteristics, monitoring quality at every stage.

Anodising

Anodising creates a protective oxide layer on aluminium profiles through an electrochemical process, improving corrosion resistance. Finishes such as natural, bronze, gold and black provide durable surfaces for architectural and industrial applications.
