The manufacturing of metal components often seems like a choice between two extremes. On one side, there is the slow and ...

The use of porous materials is a necessity for creating lightweight and efficient structures—a concept eloquently demonstrated by the simple corrugated cardboard box. Voids in a structure also create ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Extrusion is a process used for creating a product (an extrudate) by forcing a material through a die or an orifice to form a shape, or alternatively an extruder is used to produce semi-finished or ...

Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...

Accurate prediction of breakthrough extruding force is very important for extrusion production, especially for the large-scale extrusion process, which directly affects the production costs and safety ...
