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
