In the aluminum extrusion process, aluminum is meticulously shaped with precision as it flows through a die opening, resulting in elongated pieces reflecting the die’s profile. At Emirates Extrusion, we maintain strict control over this process, ensuring precise heating of billets and subjecting them to high pressure through dies. The resulting profiles undergo meticulous steps including quenching, stretching, cutting, and aging to achieve optimal hardness.
Our extrusion profiles feature a diverse range of alloys and tempers, offering a wide spectrum of mechanical and physical properties. With three presses, each capable of handling 1,650 tons and 7-inch billets, our annual capacity exceeds 18,000 tons. Our presses are rigorously maintained, ensuring efficient manufacturing processes, consistent lead times, and timely delivery.
Operated to stringent standards, our presses produce premium extrusions renowned for their impeccable surface quality. Specializing in high-tolerance aluminum extrusions, we utilize commercial alloys like 6061 and 6063, customized to meet precise temper requirements and product specifications.
We offer both standard and customized shapes to meet the diverse demands of our clients.
Aluminium alloys and tempers
Emirates Extrusion produces most of customer requirements in its facilities using alloys 6061 and 6063 with T4, T5 and T6 tempers.
6061 is a precipitation hardeningg aluminum alloy, containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. It has good mechanical properties and exhibits good weldability. It is one of the most common alloys of aluminum for general purpose use.
6063 is an aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. It has generally good mechanical properties and is heat treatable and weldable. 6063 is mostly used in extruded shapes for architecture, particularly window frames, door frames, and roofs. It is typically produced with very smooth surfaces fit for anodizing.
- T4: Solution heat treated and naturally aged to substantially stable condition
- T5: Cooled from an elevated temperature and then artificially age hardened
- T6: Solution heat treated and artificially age hardened
