The extrusion of metals like aluminium and composite materials is becoming simpler and faster owing to recent scientific and technological advancements. The development of extrusion methods is driven by the necessity to make materials with unique mechanical properties and interior structures with equally essential factors like higher production capacity and reduced manufacturing costs. The main focus is optimizing existing processes, implementing new ones close to ideal, and developing a special-purpose extrusion process. In the wake of these trends, the global aluminium extrusion market is projected to reach $146.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6 percent.
The growth is driven primarily due to the major push to reduce vehicle weight in the automotive industry. Tightening regulations and intense consumer demands for fuel efficiency have made aluminum the material of choice for many applications. It often replaces high-strength steel in body construction. Key market players are using advanced aluminium extrusion technologies to provide the required profiles to companies in the automotive industry.
To put the spotlight on such key developments in the industry, Metals and Mining Review illustrates how companies are leveraging the latest technologies to augment their industrial extrusion requirements. This edition also features thought leadership articles from subject matter experts on ongoing trends, best practices, and recent innovations. Some of the exclusive insights are authored by Viren Joshi, CEO and President at Sigma Electric Manufacturing Corporation, Serge Gaudin, Director, Sustainability and Strategy, Novelis, and Ryan Ortberg, Director of Operations, Lhoist, who shed light on the recent manufacturing trends, application of safety, and the advancements of technology.
