Precision-Engineered Steel Profiles from Our Tunica, Mississippi Facility
We continuously expand our production capabilities to better meet our customers’ needs. Through our new company Extralloys, located in Tunica, Mississippi (USA), we provide advanced solutions for custom steel profiles using state-of-the-art hot extrusion technology.
What Is Hot Extrusion?
Hot extrusion is a direct forming process used to create steel profiles with intricate geometries.
During the process, solid round steel billets are heated to over 2,000°F (≈1,100°C) and then pushed through a forming die by a hydraulic press with an extrusion force of approximately 2,800 ton vertical press or 7,800 ton extrusion press. The material is plastically deformed as it passes through the die, taking on the desired cross-sectional shape.
This method enables the production of shaped bars and seamless hollow profiles, even in difficult-to-form materials such as titanium.
Why Choose Hot Extruded Profiles
Hot extrusion offers several technical and economic advantages compared to other forming technologies:
- High design flexibility – Ideal for complex geometries and profiles with undercuts
- Production of both solid and hollow sections – Including contoured OD’s and ID’s
- Low tooling and setup costs – Competitive even for small and medium production runs
- Excellent surface quality and structural integrity
- Suitable for prototyping – Perfect for testing and refining new designs
- Efficient for midsize to large profiles
Our extrusion capability accommodates sections inscribed in a circle up to approx. Ø 17″, with weights up to around 500 lb/ft and lengths up to 90ft, allowing for a wide variety of custom shapes and sizes.
Materials Available
Extralloys produces hot-extruded profiles across three main product families:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Titanium
- Nickel Alloys
For these product families, we can supply an extensive range of grades and tailor-made alloys.
These materials provide high strength, corrosion resistance, and reliable performance under demanding conditions, making them ideal for industries such as aerospace, oil & gas, chemical processing, and construction.
Integrated Capabilities
Together with our advanced hot extrusion technology, we offer customers a comprehensive range of solutions, from precision laser-welded profiles to custom hot-extruded sections ensuring flexibility, precision, and technical excellence in every application.
