A new extrusion process of the circular section product with helical fins could be developed by using rotating extrusion dies. The twisting of extruded product is caused by the twisted conical die surface connecting the die entrance section and the die exit section linearly. But, until now, because the process has used fixed extrusion dies, it needs high pressure in order to twist billet and form fin shape on the surface of billet. So, during extruding billet, in order not to twist billet, the extrusion dies is needed to rotate itself instead of twisting billet. And in order to rotate dies, the shape of inside contour of extrusion dies must have conical type with twisted Inclined die surface connecting the die entrance section and the die exit section linearly. The results of experiments show that, in spite of using twisted extrusion dies, twisting of the billet should not happen because of rotating dies in the opposite direction of twisting direction of billet during extruding billet, and, from the results, it shows that it can decrease the power of extrusion pressure and could prevent crack of teeth for fin forming.

The study is concerned with the thermo-viscoplastic finite element analysis of nonisothermal hot container extrusion through conical dies. The problem is treated as a non-steady state incorporating the nonisothermal heat transfer analysis. The analysis of temperature distribution includes heat transfer though the boundary surface including conduction, convection and radiation. The analysis of heat transfer is decoupled with the analysis of deformation and the material interaction is considered through iteration procedure. The effect of important process parameters including die angle and extrusion ratio in the process is investigated. Due to the geometric feature for the container extrusion through conical dies, automatic remeshing is mandatory. Automatic remeshing is achieved by introducing the modular remeshing technique.

The axisymmetric forward extrusion is analyzed by using the rigid-plastic finite element formulation. The distribution of stresses and strains as well as the deformation pattern in solid extrusion is very important for the improvement of product quality. The initial velocity field is determined by assuming the material as a Newtonian fluid through an arbitrarily shaped axisymmetric die. The workhardening effect and the friction of the die-material interface are considered in the formulation. Some reduction of area and die shapes(conical and biquadratic-curved) are chosen for computation. Experiments are carried out for steel alloy(SCM4) specimens using conical and curved dies. It is found that experimental observation is in good agreement with FEM results. The strain distribution is curved(biquadratic) dies is shown to be more uniform than in conical dies at the same reduction of area.

In the present study about extru-bending of angle product, the bending of extruded angle products with the $'\Lambda'$ section and 'ㄱ', section can be obtained using two extrusion billets by the hot metal extru-bending machine with the two punches moving in the different velocity. The bending curvature can be controlled by the different velocity of billets through the two-hole container. This paper describes simulations and experiments of extru-bending process that can make bending during extruding by the difference of stem velocities. And they are applied to two kinds of dies, that is, one of them is conical dies with symmetry $'\Lambda'$ section and the other one is conical dies with asymmetry 'ㄱ' section. The results of the forming simulation by $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$ and results of experiments show that the bending phenomenon at the die exit during extrusion can be obtained with two extrusion billet by the two stems moving in the different velocity. And it was known that it is possible to design the structure of conical cavity of extrusion dies and to control the curvature of product through the simulation and experiment of extru-bending process.

This paper describes experimental investigations in the direct extrusion of copper clad aluminum rods through conical dies. Composite materials consist of two or more different material layers. Copper clad aluminum composite materials are being used fur economic and structural purposes and the development of an efficient production method of copper clad aluminum composite material rods by extrusion is very important, It is necessary to know the conditions in which successful uniform extrusion ,and sound cladding may be carried out without any defects in the direct extrusion. There are several variables that have an influence on determining a sound clad extrusion. In order to investigate the influence of these parameters on the hot direct extrudability of the copper clad aluminum composite material rods, the experimental study have been performed with various extrusion temperatures, extrusion ratios and semi-cone angles of die. Subsequently, the microscopic inspection of interface bonding is carried out for extruded products. By measuring hardness, along extrusion way of products, a variation of hardness has been discussed. Proportional flow state has been considered by measuring radius ratio of Cu sleeve and Al core before and after extrusion.

The purpose of the present study is to propose a new way of manufacturing curved metal tubes with arbitrary sections and way of eliminating the conventional bending defects such as thinning and thickening, in the wall of tube, distortion of the section, and wrinkling and folding on the surface by the extrusion bending process that can extrude and weld together one or more billets inside dies cavity, and can bend them during extrusion due to the gradient of extrusion velocities controlled by the eccentricity of the cavity sections between the entrance and the exit of the eccentric conical extrusion bending dies and conical plug, or by the relative size of the holes of multi-hole container, or by the relative moving velocity of multi-punches.

The study is concerned with an analysis on the hydrofilm extrusion through conical dies. The upper bound method is adopted for the analysis of metal deformation in connection with hydrodynamic lubrication theory for the lubricant in order to determine the extrusion pressure for some variables such as reduction of area, die cone angle. In the upper bound method, a kinematically admissible velocity field is found by assuming proper streamlines and applying the flow function concept to the region of plastic deformation. The effect of work hardening is incorporated approximately by calculating the strains at the exit of the die. The experiments are carried out with the commercially pure aluminium for some chosen variables at room temperature. It is shown that the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental observations.

The fiber orientation distribution and interface bonding in hot extrusion process have an effect on the maechanical properties of metal matrix composites(MMC's). Aluminium alloy matrix composites reinforced with alumina short fibers are fabricated by compocasting method. MMC's billets are extruded at high temperature through conical and curved shaped dies with various extrusion ratios and temperature. This present study was directed to describe the systematic correlation between extrusion die shape and subsequent results such as fiber breakage, fiber orientation and tensile strength to hot extruded MMC's billet. Extrusion load, tensile strength and hardness for variation of extrusion ratios and temperature are investigated to examine mechanical properties of extruded MMC's SEM fractographs of tensile specimens are observed to analyze the fracture mechanism.
