All About Extrusion Dies

Before talking about Extrusion Dies, it is essential to get an understanding of what exactly is meant by the process of Extrusion. Extrusion, in simple terms, is a process used to fabricate materials (like plastic/ stainless steel/ nickel-based alloys/aluminum/titanium, etc.) in complex shapes. Rather than making use of traditional techniques like welding or machining, metals are fabricated into the desired shape in a single operation with the aid of this process called Extrusion. To be precise, Extrusion is the process in which the metal billet (which is placed within an enclosed chamber) is forced with the aid of compression to move into the opening of the die (which is smaller in diameter & attached to the chamber). The billet thus forced takes on the shape of the Extrusion Die.

Extrusion Process: Different Types
There are different kinds of Extrusion processes that are in use today. Some of them include - Hot Extrusion, Cold Extrusion, Direct Extrusion, Indirect Extrusion, Horizontal And Vertical Extrusion, etc. Hot extrusion is the most commonly used process of all the above mentioned ones.

Applications Of Extruded Products
The many areas where extruded products are utilized include - in interior and exterior cladding, in automotive, marine, industrial machinery and equipment, construction applications, etc.

Different Types Of Extrusion Equipment
The two main kinds of Extrusion Equipment required for the process of extrusion includes presses and Extrusion Dies. Hydraulic Presses are the most commonly used of all the presses.

Extrusion Die Design - Why It Is Central To The Extrusion Process?
For the extrusion process to be successful, one of the most essential requirements is the good Extrusion Die Design. To ensure that the Extrusion Die Design is flawless, nowadays many companies make use of computer-aided designing.

• A flawlessly designed Extrusion Die will ensure that there is uniform flow as well as equal pressure throughout the profile.

• If the Extrusion Die Design is not up to mark, it can lead to warpage related problems in the extruded products.

• Improper Extrusion Die design can also cause differential shrinkage in the profile being produced.

Custom Extrusion Dies
Nowadays many reputed Extrusion Dies Manufacturers offer Custom Extrusion Dies as per the client specifications. These Custom Extrusion Dies are manufactured as per the specific designs supplied by the clients.
