Extrusion is a process that is used across the globe to create a wide range of fixed cross-sectional profiles. The extrusion process scores better over all other manufacturing processes allowing companies to create even the most complex and intriguing profiles. It is because different types of materials only meet compressive and shear stresses, resulting in the finished parts with unmatched surface finish. Some of the major materials that are extruded for different purposes include metals, concretes, polymers, modeling clay, and ceramics.
Here are some of the most popular ways to extrude metals:
- Direct and forward extrusion
- Sleeve method of direct extrusion
- Indirect or backward extrusion
- Impact extrusion
- Tube extrusion
- Stepped extrusion
- Combined forging and extrusion.
Some prominent features of the extrusion process
- Cost-effective
- Reduces the need for the secondary machining process
- Cross Section
- Wide variety
- Excellent surface finish.
