Factors That Affecting the Price of Aluminum Extrusion Dies

The types of aluminum profile extrusion dies are different, and the design of the die structure combination is different, so the price is also different.

1.Structure

Aluminum profile molds are divided into flat molds and split molds, and there is also an integral mold for the extrusion production of seamless pipes, which are relatively rare. Today we will focus on the flat die and the split die. The flat die is used for profiles without a cavity, and the split die is used for profiles with a cavity. The split mold is a combination of upper and lower molds, so the price is more expensive.

2.Size

The larger the profile mold is, the larger the profile mold is. The material of the aluminum profile mold is generally H13 steel, and the larger the mold, the higher the price. That is to say, the larger the cross-section, the higher the price of the aluminum profile mold

3.Cross section complexity

The cross-section of aluminum profiles ranges from simple square tubes or round tubes to complex radiators or multi-cavity profiles. Although split molds are used, the development costs of the molds are different. The more complex the cross-section, the higher the cost of the mold.

Analysis of global aluminum product structure

There are certain differences in the global aluminum product structure between different regions and industries, but the following general analysis can be made:

Aluminum materials and semi-finished products: Aluminum materials and semi-finished products are the main components of the global aluminum product structure. This includes aluminum plates, aluminum coils, aluminum profiles, aluminum foil, etc. Aluminum materials and semi-finished products are widely used in construction, transportation, packaging, electricity and other fields, and are the main products of the aluminum industry.

Aluminum building materials: Aluminum building materials are an important part of the global aluminum product structure. Aluminum alloy doors and windows, aluminum curtain walls, etc. are widely used in the construction field. These products are lightweight, corrosion-resistant and durable, providing good architectural appearance and functionality.

Automotive industry: The automotive industry is one of the important areas of global aluminum product consumption. Aluminum alloy parts are widely used in automobile manufacturing, such as engine parts, body structures, wheels, etc. Aluminum's lightweight properties help improve fuel efficiency and reduce tailpipe emissions.

Packaging Industry: Aluminum packaging products have a wide range of applications worldwide. Aluminum cans, aluminum foil, etc. can be used for packaging of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other products. Aluminum packaging products have excellent moisture-proof, anti-oxidation and fresh-keeping properties, which can extend the shelf life of products.

Aerospace field: The aerospace field is an industry with a large demand for high-performance aluminum alloys. Aluminum alloys are used in aerospace for aircraft structures, engine parts, aerospace equipment, etc. High strength, light weight and corrosion resistance make aluminum alloys an ideal material choice.

Advantages of Aluminum Extrusion Dies

1.  The extrusion method can not only produce rods, pipes and other products with simple cross-sectional shapes, but also hollow and solid products with complex cross-sectional shapes.

2. The production flexibility of the extrusion method is very large. Products with different shapes and sizes can be produced only by changing the mold. The mold replacement time is short and the production efficiency is high, which is of great significance for the production scale of small batches.

3. The dimensional accuracy of extruded products is far better than that of rolling and die forging, and the surface roughness is better, so it can be processed without processing and become a finished product.

4.  The mechanical properties of extrusion products are good, especially for aluminum and aluminum alloy products, the extrusion effect is that after quenching or aging, the longitudinal properties of the products are higher than those of rolling and die forging.

5. Compared with rolling, extrusion equipment has compact structure, less land occupation, less infrastructure cost, simple operation and easy maintenance.

6. It is easy to realize semi-automation or automation.

Structure of Aluminium Extrusion -Hollow Mold and Solid Mold

Aluminum profile extrusion dies can be divided into solid dies and hollow dies according to the shape of the extrusion section, and hollow dies can be divided into single-hole dies and multi-hole dies.

Hollow mold: It consists of two parts, the upper mold and the lower mold.

The general function of the upper mold is to guide the flow and position the hollow part of the hollow profile.

The lower mold is the outer surface working belt and empty knife.

Solid mold: Only one piece of mold including flow guide and working belt.
