Sectioned

Brass extrusion is a manufacturing process in which a brass alloy is heated and forced through a die to create a specific shape or profile. Extruding brass is a popular manufacturing method for creating a wide range of products.

ADVANTAGES

  • The process is efficient since you can conduct mass production within a short time cycle

  • Extruding brass can make products that come in a wide range of cross-sectional areas

  • Also, it will produce structures that are resistant to corrosion and machinable compared to casting

  • Compression during extrusion results in parts whose grain structure is dense and with suitable mechanical traits

  • The extrusion process offers high dimensional accuracy thus can produce complex parts which are accurate and precise

DIS-ADVANTAGES

  • High cost to set up and start the extruding brass process

  • Extruding brass needs a large amount of force to squeeze

  • It is not suitable for small productions

  • The final cross-section is the same across the entire product length
