Why Choose our EXTRUSION MATERIALS?
Refractory metals are an ideal choice for extrusion applications that require unmatched durability and performance under extreme conditions. With melting points above 2,000°C, these metals remain stable during high-temperature processes, offering exceptional resistance to heat, wear, and corrosion. This extends product lifespan and also reduces the risk of damage. Their remarkable strength at elevated temperatures ensures precise thermal and electrical conductivity, enhancing heat management efficiency. Furthermore, their excellent dimensional stability guarantees consistent and accurate extrusion results.
