Impact extrusion is one of the forming process, used to create thin wall seamless hollow shapes by a rapid single stoke application of force through a punch. It produces work pieces by striking a cold slug of metal contained in a die cavity.  A metal slug is forced to flow around a punch by a single high speed blow. This process has many advantages over conventional production methods such as casting and machining, saving on secondary operations, reducing waste material, reducing cycle times and offering tight tolerances over diameters and lengths.

Material: Aluminum 1000 & 3000 & 6000 series.

Advantages of Impact Extrusion:

Impact extrusion is fast, tough, clean & strong

Impact tolerances are tight t

Impact is economical & eliminated machining

Simplify assembly

Used everywhere

The market applications for Impact Extrusions are vast for example:

Defence/Pyrotechnics           Automotive                            Maker pens/Auto touch up

Electrical/Electronic              Speciality packaging             Promotional packaging

Corporate gift packaging        Medical                                Technical/Industrial

The extensive range of extrusion --- diameters from 5mm up to 120mm 

Wall thickness to be 0.5mm 

Impact V.S. Deep Drawn

Bottom Thickness:

- Deep-drawn parts are typically limited to a 1:1 wall/bottom thickness ratio.

  Impacts have a minimum wall/bottom thickness ratio of 1:2.  

Length / width ratio:

- Deep draws are typically limited to a 2:1 ratio.

   Impacts are typically limited to 8:1 in aluminum and 4:1 in steel in a single operation. 

   Further processing can triple this ratio.  

Material Yield:

-  Material yield in strip stock for deep draw is typically 80% or less.

   Material yield in impacts is typically over 90%.
