Why Extrusion is Critical?

In the manufacturing process of aluminum cylinders, extrusion is a crucial step that significantly influences the final product’s quality and safety. For A6061 aluminum alloy cylinders, precise control over the extrusion process is essential to ensure the durability and safety performance of the cylinders. Inadequate extrusion can result in fine cracks and visible draw marks on both the inner and outer surfaces, as well as the bottom of the cylinders. These defects not only compromise the appearance but also pose potential safety risks.

Impacts of Poor Extrusion Process Reduced Cylinder Strength: Fine cracks can compromise the structural integrity of the cylinder, especially under high pressure, potentially leading to rupture or failure.

Shortened Fatigue Life: Surface imperfections such as draw marks and cracks can act as stress concentrators, reducing the cylinder’s resistance to fatigue and increasing the likelihood of damage over time.

Increased Risk of Gas Leakage: Small cracks, even if initially undetectable, can grow and cause gas leakage, which is particularly hazardous when storing high-pressure gases.

At ZX, we utilize advanced automatic extrusion techniques and quality assurance to enhance the structural strength and fatigue resistance of our cylinders. By prioritizing quality and precision, ZX are dedicated to providing you with premium cylinder solutions.
