1. Extrusion ProcessExtrusion is a process of squeeze forming of a metal under compressive forces, which force the metal to flow out of a restricted opening in a die.A material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section.Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile.

13. Lubrication in Extrusion.As neededAs Preventive MeasureType of LubricationManualAutomaticLubricants used are:Molten glass is the most common lubricant for steel and nickel based alloysGraphite-based lubricants are also be used at high extrusion temperature.

15. Horizontal extrusion presses15- 50 MN capacity or upto 140 MNUsed for most commercial extrusion of bars and shapes.Disadvantages:Deformation is non-uniform due to different temperatures between top and bottom parts of the billet.
16. Vertical extrusion presses3- 20 MN capacityChiefly used in the production of thin-wall tubing.Advantages:Easier alignment between the press ram and tools.Higher rate of production.Require less floor space than horizontal presses.uniform deformation, due to uniform cooling of the billet in thecontainer.Requirements:Need considerable headroom to make extrusions of appreciable length.A floor pit is necessary.
17. Extrusion Die Design & Die materials
18. Die materialsDies are made from highly alloy tools steels or ceramics (zirconia, Si3N4 ).(for cold extrusion offering longer tool life and reduced lubricant used, good wear resistance).Wall thickness as small as 0.5 mm (on flat dies) or 0.7 mm (on hollow dies) can be made for aluminium extrusion.Heat treatments such as nitriding are required (several times) to increase hardness (1000-1100 Hv or 65-70 HRC).This improves die life, avoiding unscheduled press shutdown.
19. Die designDie design is at the heart of efficient extrusion production.Dies must withstand considerable amount of stresses, thermal shock, and oxidation.Design Consideration:Different wall thicknesses in one section should be avoided.The more simple shape the more cost effective.Symmetrical shape is more accurate.Sharp corners should be avoided.Size to weight ratioTolerances are added to allow some distortions (industrial standards).
