Extrusion, which can produce complex parts made of lightweight metals, is an increasingly important manufacturing process for everything from buildings to electric vehicles. Pacific Northwest National ...

Continuous extrusion encompasses a class of metal forming techniques in which billet or feedstock is continuously forced through a die to produce long-sections of uniform cross-section. Unlike batch ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...
