Let’s Talk About the different types of Extrusion Process
What do you mean by extrusion process? Extrusion process is a process where a material undergoes plastic deformation by the application of a force causing that material to flow through an orifice or die. The material adopts the cross-sectional profile of the die and if the material has suitable properties, that shape is retained in the final extrudate. This process is similar to the drawing process except the drawing process uses tensile stress to extend the metal work piece. The compressive force allows large deformation compared to drawing in a single pass. The process can be done in either hot or cold when better properties are required. Extrusion processes in metals may increase the strength of the material. Types of extrusion processes : 1. Cold extrusion 2. Hot extrusion 3. Forward and direct extrusion 4. Backward and indirect extrusion Let’s have a deep insight into all these types. Different type of Extrusion Process 1. Cold extrusion Cold extrusion is
