What is the difference between the two processes of extrusion and drawing?

Extrusion and drawing are the two main process methods in aluminum circle manufacturing. Extrusion involves heating the aluminum billet and then forcing it through the extruder die to form a cross-section of the desired shape. It is suitable for manufacturing aluminum profiles with larger cross-sections and complex shapes, such as aluminum tubes, aluminum profiles, and aluminum profile door and window frames. wait. The extruded aluminum profile has a uniform cross-section, smooth surface, high strength, and is suitable for various complex cross-sectional shapes.
Drawing involves stretching the aluminum blank through a drawing machine, gradually reducing the diameter, and finally obtaining an aluminum wire or rod of the required diameter. This method is mainly used to manufacture aluminum wires and rods with smaller diameters and longer lengths, and is suitable for wires, cables, conductors, aluminum rods and other fields. The drawn aluminum wire or rod has higher tensile properties, smaller diameter, and smoother surface.
Each of these two processes has its own characteristics. Extrusion is suitable for sections of various shapes and sizes and can produce complex special-shaped aluminum profiles, while drawing is mainly used to produce slender aluminum wires and aluminum rods, which complement each other to meet different needs.
