Aluminum Extrusion Manual, 4.2 Edition
The Aluminum Extrusion Manual has been updated with new, previously unpublished content! Three new sections have been added or expanded:
- Sustainability - Learn some of the ways that the use of extruded components are reducing the environmental impact of buildings and vehicles
- Fabrication - Expanded to include the myriad ways in which aluminum extrusions can be processed after extruding to facilitate cost savings, part-count reduction, increased product functionality, and more
- Microstructure - Discover how alloy grain structure is critical to achieving the needed extrusion performance for demanding applications. This new section reviews the specifics to provide readers with a basis for discussing critical part performance with their extruder.
Create more effective products by using aluminum extrusions with AEC's updated Aluminum Extrusion Manual, 4.2 Edition!
