About Etem
ETEM S.A. is one of the leading aluminium extrusion companies in South Eastern
Europe. It was founded in 1971 as a part of the largest metal manufacturing
holding in the Balkans. With over 40 years of experience ETEM S.A. is a fully
integrated designer and producer of aluminium profiles for industrial applications
and architectural systems.

Aluminium as a material
Weight Forming
Aluminium is a very light metal with a specific weight of Aluminium has a good formability - a feature, which is
2.7 kg/dm3, about a third that of steel. For example, the use completely utilized in the extrusion process. Aluminium can

structures can be achieved. as welding, brazing, adhesive bonding and riveting.

The aluminium possesses a unique
combination of properties which make
it extremely attractive and versatile
construction material with universal
application.
Conductivity
Aluminium is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and
in relation to its weight is almost twice as good a conductor
as copper. This has made aluminium the most commonly
used material in major power transmission lines.
Linear expansion
Aluminium has a relatively high coefficient of linear
expansion compared to other metals. This should be taken
into account during the design stage in order
to avoid possible differences.
Non-toxicity
Aluminium is non-toxic and is therefore highly suitable
for the preparation and storage of food.
Reflectivity
Aluminium possesses good reflective properties for both
light and heat.

Design of aluminium profiles
Aluminium is the material that gives almost unlimited possibility to design different forms of profiles.
To increase the extrudability, functionality and productivity of the profiles it is necessary to follow some some basic design
rules:
Wall thicknesses
The decrease of the wall thicknesses cannot be unlimited. It depends on the profile’s shape and the circumscribing circle. It

Rounded shapes
For better extrudability and longer die’s life is important to
design rounded shapes.
Symmetry
The symmetry of the profile is recommended for good
extrusion balance of the die.
Decorative lines
By using decorative lines, the defects, scratches and
extrusion lines could be hidden.
Heat sinks
How to make a profile with deep channels easy to be
extruded is shown on the picture below. The depth of the
channels is decreased but the profile’s area is increased by
using wavy forms of the fins.

Aluminium alloys
General physical properties of the aluminium alloys
The 6000 series has good extrusion properties and can be subjected to heat treatment at extrusion temperature. This
treatment provides the alloys with medium to high strength, a good corrosion resistance even when used close to the sea,
and also allows the use of welding processes. A large part of the extruded elements for load-bearing structures possess
these properties. They are used for load-bearing structures both on land and in the sea.
