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.
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 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.
* Colours shown in the image are for reference only. Anodising shades may vary depending on alloy type, profile geometry, surface quality, coating thickness and lighting conditions.
Aluminium profiles are coated on fully automated electrostatic powder coating lines, with a wide range of RAL colours. Alongside coatings that meet QUALICOAT Class 1 requirements, woodgrain finishes are available to suit project needs.
Cutting, drilling, milling, punching and other machining operations are planned to match the project specifications. We coordinate with suitable production partners to deliver project-specific components ready for assembly.
Appropriate packaging and timely delivery are integral to the supply process. RAU Metals coordinates packaging standards, loading plans, export documentation and delivery arrangements with production and logistics partners.
Each shipment is planned to suit the project requirements and monitored from loading through to delivery.
