The aluminum extrusion process involves forcing heated aluminum through a shaped die to create a continuous profile. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. - Billet Preparation – Aluminum alloy billets (solid cylindrical blocks) are heated to 350–500°C.
2. - Extrusion Press – The softened billet is pushed through a steel die using a powerful hydraulic press.
3. - Shaping & Cooling – As aluminum emerges in the desired shape, it is cooled using air or water.
4. - Stretching – The extruded profile is stretched to remove twists and ensure straightness.
5. - Cutting – The extruded piece is cut into desired lengths.
6. - Heat Treatment (Optional) – Some extrusions undergo tempering to enhance strength.
7. - Finishing (Optional) – Anodizing, painting, or powder coating can be applied for durability and aesthetics.

This process is widely used for construction, automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications due to its efficiency and precision. 🚀

China recently canceled the 13% export tax rebate for aluminum semi-manufactured products, effective December 1, 2024. This move increases costs for Chinese exporters, likely reducing exports while boosting domestic supply.

The change aims to address overcapacity in China's aluminum sector and reduce trade tensions. Global aluminum markets reacted sharply—London Metal Exchange (LME) prices rose, while Shanghai prices fell, signaling concerns over reduced Chinese supply.

This decision may benefit Western aluminum producers and could lead to regional market fragmentation as trade barriers reshape global supply chains.
