Analysis of the extrusion principle of aluminum profiles

Update time : 2022-10-09 19:29:40

1. The principle of extrusion of aluminum profiles

Aluminum extrusion is a plastic processing method that applies external force to a metal blank placed in a container (extrusion cylinder) to flow out from a specific die hole to obtain the desired cross-sectional shape and size.

2. Composition of aluminum extrusion press

Aluminum extrusion machine consists of machine base, front column frame, tension column, extrusion cylinder, hydraulic system under electrical control, and also equipped with die base, thimble, scale plate, slide plate, etc.

3. Classification of aluminum extrusion methods

According to the type of metal in the extrusion cylinder, the state of stress and strain, the extrusion direction of the aluminum profile, the smooth state, the extrusion temperature, the extrusion speed, the type or structure of the tool, the shape or number of the billet, and the shape of the product or the number, etc., can be divided into forward extrusion method, reverse extrusion method, (including plane deformation extrusion, axisymmetric deformation extrusion, general three-dimensional deformation extrusion) lateral extrusion method, glass smooth extrusion method, hydrostatic extrusion method, successive extrusion method, etc.

4. Positive thermal deformation extrusion

Most of the hot-deformed aluminum production enterprises use the forward hot-deformation extrusion method to obtain aluminum with the required cross-sectional shape through a specific die (flat die, cone die, split die).

The forward extrusion process is simple, the equipment requirements are not high, the metal deformation capacity is high, the production range is wide, the aluminum performance is highly controllable.

The disadvantage is that there is a strong conflict between the inner and outer surfaces of the extrusion cylinder and the aluminum material, which accounts for a large proportion of the extrusion energy consumption. The extrusion speed of the alloy accelerates the wear and service life of the extrusion die, and the microstructure and properties of the product are uneven.

What are the methods of identifying the quality of motor housing aluminum extrusions?

Mar .31.2023

With the widespread use of aluminum profiles, motor housing aluminum extrusions processing manufacturers are also increasing, but because of the uneven processing technology of various manufacturers, the quality of processed products also have concave and convex.

What are the polishing methods of motor housing aluminum extrusions?

Mar .30.2023

Motor housing aluminum extrusions are often inseparable from polishing if they want to achieve smooth or mirror effect. Its grinding refers to the use of mechanical, chemical or electrochemical action, reduce the roughness of the workpiece surface, make the surface bright and smooth processing method.

Spray curing treatment of motor housing aluminum extrusions

Mar .29.2023

Three spraying layer generally need two curing, motor housing aluminum extrusions into the hardening furnace treatment, hardening temperature is generally between 180℃-250℃, hardening time for 15-25 minutes, different fluorine coating manufacturers according to their own paint to provide the best temperature and time.

How to protect the appearance of motor housing aluminum extrusions?

Mar .28.2023

The appearance of motor housing aluminum extrusions is most easily damaged during the turnover of many processes.
