Extrusion Benchmark 2013 - Experimental Analysis of Mandrel Deflection, Local Temperature and Pressure in Extrusion Dies

Article Preview

Abstract:

A bridge die was designed for the simultaneous extrusion of two rectangular profiles and used in a strictly monitored aluminum extrusion process. Experimental investigations aimed at the measurement of the mandrel deflection, the local die temperature, and the pressure inside the welding chamber by means of special measurement equipment. AA6082 alloy was used as extrusion material. The influence of the extrusion speed on the aforementioned objectives is reported. The experiments were repeated at least three times under the same conditions in order to achieve a statistical validation of the acquired data. These data are provided as reference for the 2013 edition of the Extrusion Benchmark.
