Learn how to optimize and analyze the aluminum extrusion process in this one-day intensive course from the experts at the Manufacturing Technologies Group at the University of Bologna in Italy. They have worked extensively with European extruders and die makers to optimize die design, improve welding phenomena in extrusion dies, increase die life, and analyze final microstructure of extruded profiles.
This course covers the following topics:
- Introduction to practical and analytical extrusion concepts
- Material flow and Friction in direct extrusion
- Die failure modes and die life prediction
- Seam welds, welding criteria and profile strength
- Charge welds and process performance
- Microstructure evolution and Streaks formation mechanisms.
