Aluminum Extrusion Technology

Aluminum extrusion technology in modern industries, both in the United States and elsewhere, continues to be a subject of discussion and evaluation concerning its application to the working environment. The demand for and application of aluminum extrusion in architecture and in the manufacture of automobiles, small machine components, structural components and especially aircraft, have increased tremendously, and competition in this industry is intense. The extrusion industry is now more than 100 years old. Continuing education is needed to upgrade knowledge about aluminum extrusion technology, both in the academic and industrial communities. This book was written to provide many developed ideas, more practical and useful theoretical concepts based on knowledge acquired from research and academic work, industrial working experience, and the review of research and technical papers related to aluminum extrusion technology.
