A method for combined rolling and extruding of cast billet is proposed. When implementing the method for combined rolling and extruding of metals or alloys, a cast billet with a predetermined temperature is fed to the working gauge, in which it is rolled and then to the die, through which the cast billet is extruded. When the cast billet is fed into the working gauge, a cladding layer of metal or alloy is created on the surfaces of the rolls by extruding the cast billet through the gaps formed between the surfaces of the rolls and the die. This invention makes it possible to improve the quality of the resulting products, as well as to increase the efficiency of the process as a whole.

A method is used to manufacture a tube having a hollow interior for housing an axle shaft. The tube is formed in a single machine having a fixed base and a single press structure movable toward the fixed base. The single machine includes first and second die assemblies coupled to the fixed base and first and second mandrels coupled to the single press structure. The method includes the steps of placing a billet into the first die assembly, pressing the billet into the first die assembly with the first mandrel to producing a pre-formed billet, and moving the pre-formed billet from the first die assembly to the second die assembly. THE method further includes the steps of pressing the pre-formed billet into the second die assembly with the second mandrel to elongate the pre-formed billet and form a hollow interior therein to produce an extruded tube.

A method for producing a replaceable cutting head is described. The replaceable cutting head is manufactured by extruding a blank. During extrusion of the blank, a number of helical coolant channels and a number of helical flutes are simultaneously formed. After extrusion, the flutes have a first angle of twist (D1), and the coolant channels have a second angle of twist (D2). After extrusion, the blank is sintered and then reworked to selectively adjust the first angle of twist (D1) and the pitch of the flutes. The method produces an endless blank that is capable of being parted off to a desired length without any sacrificial allowance, which provides significant material and cost savings as compared to conventional methods.

A method of manufacturing an extruded material of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite having improved corrosion resistance, and the extruded material manufactured thereby are proposed. The method may include manufacturing an extruded material comprising an aluminum-carbon nanotube composite material and forming a hard oxide film on the surface of the extruded material by anodizing the extruded material in a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and oxalic acid. The method can form a hard oxide film with excellent corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and insulation properties on the surface of a composite material (an extruded material of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite material), which is known to be difficult to conduct hard anodizing due to the difference in corrosion characteristics between materials and, accordingly, the usability of the composite material can be significantly improved.
