It is an object to realize and establish new extrusion technology for
manufacturing a light-metal hollow member (product) having excellent
mechanical properties with constant stability and also efficiently
manufacturing the product having a strength satisfying a required level
at low cost, by using a hollow die such as a bridge die. The object is
achieved by dividing and joining/welding a light-metal material with a
hollow extrusion die and then extruding the light-metal material to form
in a desired cross-sectional shape through a die opening, wherein the
strain level applied to the light-metal material after the
joining/welding is maintained at 1.8 or more and the extrusion is
performed.
