Forging and Extrusion

Forging

Forging is the shaping of metals using compressive forces.  Aegis Technology uses open-die and die forging in order to shape aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), and nickel (Ni) alloys and their composites.

Extrusion

Extrusion is the shaping of metals by pushing them through a die with a particular cross-sectional shape.  Aegis Technology uses extrusion in order to shape aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), titanium (Ti), and nickel (Ni) alloys and composites.
