Abstract

Open die extrusion (ODE) has been done on AISI 1020 steel, commercial purity aluminium and commercial purity titanium, in both direct and inverted modes. It was found that inverted extrusion requires lesser forces than direct extrusion. Limit strains are more for the former than for the later as measured experimentally and as calculated theoretically. Theoretical limit strains are lesser than experimental ones in both the case of rods and tubes. ODE is only for shorter components due to unsupported billet and interference from buckling. It is also only for smaller strains due to interference from upsetting of unsupported billet above the die rather than extrusion through the die.
