Typical extruded metals (hot or Typical extruded metals (hot or cold)cold)

Aluminum, copper, magnesium, Aluminum, copper, magnesium, zinc, tin and alloys of thesezinc, tin and alloys of these

Steel alloys are usually extruded Steel alloys are usually extruded hot; softer steels may be hot; softer steels may be extruded coldextruded cold

Others such as titanium and Others such as titanium and refractory metals may be refractory metals may be extruded, but with difficultyextruded, but with difficulty
