Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2489448A1] Process for manufacturing aluminium alloy extruded profile parts which are resistant to the corrosion resulting from their contact with the air and humidity, comprising the following steps: a) providing a billet; b) extruding the billet through a die to create at least one profile having the desired shape and length and optionnally cooling or quenching the profile after the exit of the die; c) optionally stretching the profile; d) sawing the extruded profile to obtain profile parts at the desired length; characterised in that during step b) a corrosion-resistant layer is coated on the fresh metal surface exiting from the extrusion press by spraying a fluid solution near the exit of the die. The fluid solution is preferably a sol gel medium made from mixing a polysiloxane solution and an aqueous colloidal silica solution. Profile parts coated with a corrosion resistant layer obtained by the said process.
