Aluminum Extrusion Designs

Every project starts with a consultation with an expert. At Silver City Aluminum, we’re committed to giving each and every customer the highest caliber of quality control and customer care. Our mission is to provide exceptional bespoke aluminum extrusion products that will surpass all requirements. Our ability to maintain our attention on the product’s intended function while taking into account all the finer points is one of the factors contributing to our success.

Our many years of offering our clients high-quality custom extrusion designs have led us to understand that the earlier we can become engaged in the product development process, the more effectively we can assist our clients in creating a final design that will satisfy their requirements. We take great satisfaction in contributing to every client project’s design from start to finish.

Quality Materials and Methods

We can start the extrusion process as soon as the custom extrusion drawings for the profile are finished. We exclusively utilize 99.9 percent recyclable aluminum and get our aluminum billet from many providers. To cut down on waste and save our clients money, we pre-cut our billets. We compute our cuts according to the profile’s weight and length. To ensure optimal extrusion, our team pre-heats the materials to a certain temperature. To do this, we first load the billets into one of our specially designed ovens before starting the extrusion process.

After that, the metal is forced through the steel die at a pressure of around 10 million pounds. The precise form that the client has requested is created by the aluminum alloy flowing through the profile. Before the items are heat-treated to harden the aluminum to its greatest capacity, they are cooled, stretched to the correct dimensions, and cut in accordance with the client’s demands.

Post-Extrusion Operations

There are still some additional services that may be offered, even if one of the main advantages of bespoke extrusion designs is a decrease in the number of post-extrusion activities needed to complete the process. For instance, our fabrication department at Silver City Aluminum possesses the exceptional capability to custom build nearly any part or design that our clients wish to have.

At our one-stop shop fabrication and extrusion facility, we can exceed our clients’ expectations by using highly qualified professionals and state-of-the-art technology to produce fully completed items. Precision sawing and mitering with tight accuracy, CNC fabrication for both long and short components, and punching with customized pneumatic and hydraulic punches for large and low volume applications are also offered. All of our machined components come with standard secondary operations like deburring, along with specialty services like assembling and heli-coiling.

Custom Finishing Solutions

At our one-stop fabrication and extrusion shop, we even provide premium finishing solutions. Our paint line operates nearly continuously, and we aim for excellence in every painting service we provide to create a reliable color application and superior adherence in compliance with industry standards. For superior adherence to our bespoke aluminum extrusion products, we use a four-stage pre-treat process that comprises an etch, a clean wash, a neutralizing wash, and a standard pre-wash.

Depending on their demands, customers can also select between anodizing and powder coating. Clear, black, white, or an infinite variety of colors, textures, and styles are possible for our finishing treatments. To learn more about our finishing options for unique extrusion designs, be sure to have a conversation with one of our professionals.

Expedite Delivery While Maintaining Quality Control

We at Silver City Aluminum distribute across the nation with our own fleet of vehicles. We can guarantee on-time delivery as we manage our own delivery routes and timetables. This gives us the chance to oversee the extrusion procedure and product quality all the way through. We have many docks both inside and outside to suit any shipment need, so we can also work with customers who wish to utilize their own trucks or LTL carriers.

For LTL shipments, we can even design unique containers to reduce the possibility of damage occurring during transportation on someone else’s vehicle. We provide the fastest lead times in the industry, with a maximum lead time of 3–4 weeks. In an emergency, we even provide our clients with the option to place bespoke orders with lead times varying from three days to a week.
