•    Description:  The 24th article in a series, this article covers the press quenching effects on product quality. Applying and controlling the adequate quench rate is essential for achieving the structural soundness of the profile in terms of mechanical properties, overall profile dimensions, and tolerances and can affect post-extrusion processes such as anodizing, resulting in an unacceptable surface finish. In part I, the article addresses the main characteristics and baseline factors influencing press quenching (including targeted temperature, alloy quench sensitivity, and extrusion speed, as well as the effect quenching has on product quality.
