Frequently Asked Questions

Railway aluminium extrusions are precision-manufactured aluminium profiles used extensively in the construction of passenger coaches, metro cars, freight wagons, and railway infrastructure. They offer high structural strength while remaining incredibly lightweight compared to steel.
Aluminium reduces the overall weight of the coach, which improves energy efficiency, allows for faster acceleration and deceleration, and reduces wear and tear on the tracks. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, leading to lower maintenance costs and a longer service life.
Yes, we specialize in OEM manufacturing. We can develop custom profiles based on your technical drawings and specifications, including complex hollow and multi-cavity sections, using our in-house die design capabilities.
Typically, alloys from the 6000 series (like 6061, 6063, 6005A, and 6082) are preferred due to their excellent balance of strength, weldability, corrosion resistance, and extrudability. We can guide you to the best alloy for your specific application.
With our 700T, 1100T, and 1250T presses, we can extrude a wide range of profile sizes suitable for structural and interior railway applications. Please contact our engineering team with your specific drawing to confirm feasibility.
Absolutely. We offer comprehensive fabrication and machining services including precision cutting, CNC/VMC machining, drilling, and tapping to deliver ready-to-assemble components.
