Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional
profile. A material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired crosssection. The two main advantages of this process over other
manufacturing processes are its ability to create very complex crosssections, and to work materials that are brittle, because the material only
encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms finished parts
with an excellent surface finish.
Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically producing indefinitely long
material) or semi-continuous (producing many pieces). The extrusion
process can be done with the material hot or cold.
Hollow cavities within extruded material cannot be produced using a simple
flat extrusion die, because there would be no way to support the center
barrier of the die. Instead, the die assumes the shape of a block with
depth, beginning first with a shape profile that supports the center section.
The die shape then internally changes along its length into the final
shape, with the suspended center pieces supported from the back of the die.
The process begins by heating the stock material (for hot or warm
extrusion). It is then loaded into the container in the press. A dummy block is
placed behind it where the ram then presses on the material to push it out of
the die. Afterward the extrusion is stretched in order to straighten it. If better
properties are required then it may be heat treated or cold worked.
The extrusion ratio is defined as the starting cross-sectional area divided by
the cross-sectional area of the final extrusion. One of the main advantages
of the extrusion process is that this ratio can be very large while still
producing quality parts.

Materials that can be extrudes are aluminum, copper, steel,
magnesium, and plastics. Aluminum, copper and plastics are most
suitable for extrusion.
Extrusion process
Hot extrusion
Hot extrusion is a hot working process, which means it is done above the
material's recrystallization temperature to keep the material from work
hardening and to make it easier to push the material through the die. Most hot
extrusions are done on horizontal hydraulic presses that range from 230 to
11,000 metric tons (250 to 12,000 short tons). Pressures range from 30 to
700 MPa (4,400 to 100,000 psi), therefore lubrication is required, which can
be oil or graphite for lower temperature extrusions, or glass powder for
higher temperature extrusions. The biggest disadvantage of this process is its
cost for machinery and its upkeep.
Cold extrusion
Cold extrusion is done at room temperature or near room temperature. The
advantages of this over hot extrusion are the lack of oxidation, higher
strength due to cold working, closer tolerances, good surface finish, and fast
extrusion speeds if the material is subject to hot shortness.

Extrusion defects
Surface cracking - When the surface of an extrusion splits. This is often
caused by the extrusion temperature, friction, or speed being too high. It can
also happen at lower temperatures if the extruded product temporarily sticks
to the die.
Pipe - A flow pattern that draws the surface oxides and impurities to the
center of the product. Such a pattern is often caused by high friction or
cooling of the outer regions of the billet.
Internal cracking - When the center of the extrusion develops cracks or
voids. These cracks are attributed to a state of hydrostatic tensile stress at the
centerline in the deformation zone in the die. (A similar situation to the
necked region in a tensile stress specimen)
Surface lines - When there are lines visible on the surface of the extruded
profile. This depends heavily on the quality of the die production and how
well the die is maintained, as some residues of the material extruded can stick
to the die surface and produce the embossed lines.
Advantages
There are number of advantages of using extrusion process which are
following
By increasing forming pressure, we can get thinner walls
The cost of extrusion dies is less as compare to the dies of other processes
The operation cost of this process is low
Large reduction of area leads us for easier secondary operation
Extrusion process gives us more flexibility in the design of metal
We get good dimensional tolerances from this process
Use of spider die will allow us to create internal impression in the metal
Extrusion process is excellent to give us brittle products
