What research and development activities are underway for aluminum extrusion?
Active R&D has been undertaken by private companies, universities, and National Laboratories to advance all aspects of aluminum extrusion technology. A comprehensive collection of past work can be found in the Proceedings from the International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminars, known as “ET” for short. These are available from the Aluminum Extruders Council via their Publications list. A summary of some specific ongoing R&D in the extrusion area can be found in the Secat Technical Articles section.
