Advantages of Impact Extrusions

Speed	Depending upon the size and complexity of the part and the nature of the equipment of producing them, production rates of 4000 pieces per hour can be achieved.
Economy	When compared to casting and machining labor the metal savings alone justify the conversion to an impact extrusion. In some cases when the aluminum slug is sized accurately, little or no trimming or other secondary operations are required.
Strength	The impact process naturally work hardens non-heat treatable alloys, while the heat treatable alloys can be heat treated in normal fashion after processing.
Toughness	The impact extruding process produces parts that are dense and porous-free in structure. This condition cannot be obtained in a casting process or by machining of a bar material.
Versatility	After impacting, the product can be treated the same as any other piece of material. Secondary operations such as machining, grinding, welding, bending, plating or anodizing can be performed in the same way as any other piece manufactured by a more conventional process.
Consolidation	Impacts can directly replace machined components, or welded or riveted assemblies, in many designs. The process often reduces product costs for secondary machining operations and in many cases increases the strength of a product that was previously an assembly.
