Abstract: A composite profile comprising: (1) an extruded metal alloy carrier profile comprising a rail head having a longitudinal axis B, the rail head comprises a surface and two longitudinal edges extending parallel to the longitudinal axis B and (2) a metal channel shaped profile strip comprising a base portion spanning the surface of the rail head and parallel side legs which lie on the longitudinal edges of the head rail, an insert rod is provided on the parallel side legs which lie on the longitudinal edges of the head rail and engage in lateral slots provided in the two longitudinal edges of the rail head, wherein the profile strip is attached to the carrier profile under mechanical pretension by way of a weld scan.

Abstract: A process for extruding a section or the like from a billet, in which a billet is introduced into the bore of a container and, by an extrusion stem, is fed in the direction of extrusion into a shape-forming cross-sectional opening in a die. The billet material is pressed into a central inlet in the die and the resultant ductile mass fed outwards at an angle to the direction of extrusion through a plurality of channels to the shape-forming cross-section. The main load is applied by the extrusion force acting outside the central inlet and the shape-forming region and is preferably diverted outside the shape-forming region to the supporting die parts.
