铝型材成型

铝型材挤压是对放在容器（挤压筒）内的金属坯料施加外力，使之从特定的模孔中流出，获得所需断面形状和尺寸的一种塑性加工方法。

What is an Extrusion Die

Extrusion dies are essentially thick, circular steel disks containing one or more openings to create the desired profile. They are normally constructed from H-13 die steel and heat-treated to withstand the pressure and heat of hot aluminum as it is pushed through the die.

While it may appear that aluminum is a very soft metal, the reality is it takes a tremendous amount of pressure to push a solid log (billet) of aluminum through a thin, multi-holed die to create the desired shape. In fact, it takes 100,000-125,000 psi of force to push a billet through an 8” inch press.

To put that force into context, a power washer to clean a car pushes out water at around 2,500 psi. Increasing that pressure to 5,000 psi can destroy the brick on a building. The pressure produced in an extrusion press is 20 times that amount.
