After produced in either ingot, panel or billet forms, aluminium can be used in many many areas in industry. |

With extrusion technique, aluminium billets can be formed in virtually numberless different shapes. In order to do this, aluminium billet is heated up and passed through a special mould, which has a hole in middle, shaped according to the requirement. As aluminium billet passes through the mould, it exits from the other side shaped as the hole. |

Aluminium Billet
Aluminium Profile Extrusion Mould.|
Aluminium is very easy to shape. It can be rolled any thickness between 60 cm to 2-6 mm and end product can be as thin as 0.5% of 1 mm. Despite of how thin it is, it still won't let light, smell or flavor in or out. This property makes aluminium a perfect material for packaging. |
