Extrusion Extrusion
o Metal flows along the load direction. o Metal flows opposite to the load direction.

o Material passes through an orifice. o Material flows around the punch.

o Involves a higher frictional force. o Lesser frictional force involved.

Extrusion: Bulk Metal Forming
Definition: Forging a billet by passing it through a shaped die, to produce a continuous
length of section as per the die profile or the die and punch arrangements.

➢ Uses purely compression force to push the material to flow plastically.

➢ The material attains its semisolid form under high frictional force.

➢ Generally Hydraulic pressure arrangements are used due to efficient speed control.

➢ Mostly applicable for Lead (Pb), Aluminum (Al), and Copper (Cu) billets.

➢ Hot metal extrusion involves pre-heating the billets to their recrystallization temperature.

Higher Frictional
force during Direct
Extrusion

➢ Higher load input is required for direct/forward


extrusion than indirect extrusion.

➢ The length of the object produced by Indirect


extrusion is limited to the length of the punch.

Extrusion Defects
▪ An internal crack that develops due to tensile stresses
Center Burst along the center axis of the workpiece during extrusion.
▪ Occurs because of improper centering of the Ram, die,
and billet.

▪ Formation of a sinkhole in the end of the billet.


Piping
▪ Can be minimized by using a dummy block with a
diameter slightly less than that of the billet.

Surface Cracks ▪ Results from high workpiece temperatures and


higher extrusion speeds, leading to high strain
rates.
