Custom Applications for Aluminum Manufacturing

Bayou Manufacturing has custom applications for large and thick and special alloys. There are limits on extrusion size, thickness (thin and thick), weight per foot, etc. that prohibit extrusions from being used in certain applications. With Friction Stir Welding and its inherent lack of distortion, custom extrusions can be made when standard joining and fabrication technologies prohibit production due to limitations in extrusion size, thickness, weight per foot or alloy limitations that prevent the fabrication of hollow extrusions (e.g. 2xxx, 5xxx, and 7xxx).
