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.
➢ 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.

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.
