Matritech offers aluminum extrusion among its many great industrial services

Matritech offers aluminum-extrusion services.

For three decades, Matritech Inc. has been a leading manufacturer of components for major industries, including road and railway transportation, the medical field, energy systems, and lighting equipment, and HVAC equipment. Its many services include laser cutting, stamping, assembly, and robotic bending and welding. In 2016, the company added aluminum extrusion to this portfolio of abilities, in response to customer demand.

A material high in demand

Because of its malleability, aluminum is a material high in demand in manufacturing. This metal is easy for machinists to cast into new shapes, and it is very strong and stable when it is combined with other materials. This is why aluminum-extrusion transformation is such a needed industrial service.

Aluminum extrusion is a technique for transforming aluminum alloy into objects with cross-sectional profiles. The process consists of heating a billet of aluminum alloy, then transferring it to a loader and forcing it through a die into a container. The extruded part is cooled off, straightened, and hardened. Workers cut the extrusions to the required lengths and heat them in ovens, which hardens them by speeding the aging process.

Matritech’s extrusion services offer a number of competitive advantages. First, the company manufactures finished products efficiently by applying many of its services in one facility, including extrusion. In addition, Matritech uses standard machining processes and its own transformation options, such as rapid punching, bending, forming, welding, or assembly, to achieve different production runs, from high-volume to short runs.
