Extrusion of Aluminium Alloys

Abstract

The extrusion process is complex, involving interaction between the process variables and the material’s high-temperature properties. Theoretically, the process variables which may be controlled are the extrusion ratio R, the ram speed V R, and the extrusion temperature T. However, the extrusion ratio is generally fixed by customer specification so that the temperature and the speed become the only controllable factors.
