Forward and backward extrusion composite forming method using mould having open inner cavity

The present invention discloses a forward and backward extrusion composite forming method using a mould having an open inner cavity, including the following steps: (1) the structural design and assembly of the forward and backward extrusion composite mould having the open inner cavity; (2) the preparation of the initial billet; and (3) forward and backward extrusion composite forming. The present invention can greatly improve the length-diameter ratio of the blind hole and is widely used in alloy steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, copper alloy and other components.

Hydroforming of porthole extrusion with non-equiangular seams

A method of forming a part includes extruding a billet through a die, forming a round, closed geometry tube from the billet, and hydroforming the round, closed geometry tube. The extrusion die contains an orifice with a central mandrel, a plurality of bridges, and a corresponding plurality of portholes between the bridges. A spacing of the bridges around the mandrel is non-equiangular. As a result, the round, closed geometry tube has non-equiangular welds after emerging from the die.

Functionally Graded Coatings and Claddings

A shear assisted extrusion process for producing cladded materials wherein a cladding material and a material to be cladded are placed in sequence with the cladded material positioned to contact a rotating scroll face first and the material to be cladded second. The two materials are fed through a shear assisted extrusion device at a preselected feed rate and impacted by a rotating scroll face to generate a cladded extrusion product. This process allows for increased through wall strength and decreases the brittleness in formed structures as compared to the prior art.

A device and method enabling industrial continuous pressing, called extrusion of plastically/thermally mouldable substances such as metal, composite metal, plastic, composite or rubber, which is pressed to the profile by a process including a tool fixed member partially predefining the profile shape/cross-section before the profile is finally defined to a cross-section when the material passes rotating dies, which through contact with each other, cancel out main radial forces and the position of which may vary relative to other bearing surfaces or rotary bearing surfaces of the tool with which they define the final shape of the profile. The device and method enable the extrusion of pattern on the inside of hollow profiles and the extrusion of multiple profiles in one tool, because 80-98% of radial bearing forces are eliminated, allowing the installation of rotary dies where not previously possible, and almost unlimited opportunities in increased profile width.

EXTRUDED HEAT PIPE

Metal is extruded through a feeder plate and an extrusion die to form a heat pipe component that includes a length of pipe and a flange extending outward from the pipe along the length of the pipe. A section of the flange is removed from the extruded heat pipe component, the pipe is sealed and compressed to reduce its thickness and form a heat pipe element for a computing system.

EXTRUSION OF METAL MATERIAL USING A DUMMY BLOCK HAVING A CURVED SURFACE
20200376529 · 2020-12-03 ·

Various embodiments provide for an extrusion device with a dummy block having a curved surface configured to change the shape and length of charge welds between extrudates originating from different billets in order to reduce the amount of scrap and waste material. In an embodiment, the dummy block, which forces the billet of material through the die, can have a concave front surface such that the material, as it is extruded through the die, forms a solid-state weld that is shorter than a flat faced dummy block. In another embodiment, the dummy block can have a convex front surface such that the material, as it is extruded through the die, forms a solid-state weld that is longer than a weld due to a flat faced dummy block. In other embodiments, billets with non-flat ends can also be used.
