[0002] Aluminum profiles are produced by heating aluminum rods and extruding them through a die to obtain aluminum profiles with different cross-sections and specifications. Preheating is a crucial step in the aluminum rod extrusion process. First, preheating significantly improves the plasticity of aluminum.

After heating, the crystal structure of aluminum becomes more active, grain boundary mobility is enhanced, and hardness and strength decrease, making it easier to shape. Second, preheating helps mitigate strain hardening. Strain hardening reduces the material's deformability, while heating alters the internal structure of the material, effectively reducing this phenomenon.
