Referring to the metal extrusion manufacturing process, answer the following:
a. Why do you need to preheat the billet?
b. What effect does the extrusion speed have on the properties and the quality of the extrusion?
A) Higher temperature allow the high extrusion speed , specially when the press is at maximum pressure.higher Temperature prevent from the break dia.
B) there are various effect of extrusion speed-
1- it result coarsening and the mechanical properties deterioration
2- hardening response growth decrease.
3- it could strengthen the alloy
4 - limit the extrudability of metal.
5- Rapid crack and growth occurs.
6- effective strain distribution achieved after increasing the speed.
