Extrusions
Custom extrusions find their way into products as diverse as water heaters, heat sinks, recreational boats, and the stadium seating that fills sports venues across the country. Custom extrusions also form the critical basis of a variety of electronic components and other specialized machinery.
As one of North America’s leading producers of custom-shape extrusions, Kaiser Aluminum makes a wide range of alloys and shapes – up to 16 inches in diameter. Hollow shapes are available in many shapes with wall thickness down to 1.5 mm dependent upon alloy and complexity.
This product offering is backed by unmatched technical support from die designers, process engineers, and metallurgists, all of whom are focused on ways to deliver optimum design at optimum efficiency.
