What is Cold Extrusion?
Cold extrusion is a manufacturing process where aluminum billets are shaped into cylinders at or near room temperature. Unlike hot extrusion, which shapes the material at high temperatures, cold extrusion is performed without heating the aluminum billet, maintaining the material's inherent properties.
High Precision
● High Precision and Accuracy: ZX's cold extrusion process is performed at room temperature, minimizing thermal expansion and contraction of the material. This allows for the production of parts with tighter tolerances and higher precision, making ZX cylinders ideal for applications requiring exact specifications.
● Consistent Quality: Each cylinder maintains consistent dimensions, ensuring reliable performance in every use.
Superior Surface Finish
● Smooth Material Flow: Without heating, aluminum flows smoothly through the mold, producing a finer and more uniform surface finish.
● Less Oxidation: Cold extrusion minimizes oxidation and scaling that can occur at high temperatures, leading to a cleaner surface, which is essential for applications where surface integrity is crucial.
Enhanced Mechanical Properties
● Work Hardening: The cold extrusion process causes work hardening, which increases the strength and hardness of the aluminum. This occurs because the metal's grain structure is deformed and refined under high pressure, improving its mechanical properties.
Precise, durable, and efficient- Choose ZX aluminum cylinders to meet the highest standards of quality.
