We manufacture and finish aluminium extrusions from a range of press capacities. Often we will modify the extrusions by machining before they are finished, either by anodising or using a range of other techniques such as powder coating or wet painting. We can also provide printed logos or laser marking on the extrusions.

PRODUCTION
At Goudsmit UK we use Goudsmit UK use what is known as the direct extrusion process. In brief, Cylindrical aluminium alloy billets are heated to a temperature between 450ºC and 500ºC before being loaded into a container and the billet
squeezed through a die using ram pressures of up to 600MPa. Please click below for further informaiton on this process.
FEA ANALYSIS & MACHINING
Finishing falls into the following categories; surface texture, surface finish/colour, painting and any printing or marking and almost all of the extrusions made by Goudsmit UK are in someway modified or post machined. Over the last 10 years we have used FEA analysis repeatedly in order to assist clients in minimising their material content, and ensuring that the form once employed in the application will work below the maximum yield strength.
