Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special volume covers all aspects of extrusion in the world of today: from innovative tools for die design to a deep analysis of the extrusion defects that still afflict most extruders and users around the world. The papers are grouped into the categories of: benchmarking, process optimization and innovation, material flow and friction, dies and tooling, seam welds and microstructures. It is expected that this book will become a source of invaluable information which will aid the everyday work of scientific and industrial researchers, engineers and students.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special collection comprises 36 peer-reviewed papers giving an insight into the latest advances in extrusion technology and its simulation. The papers cover a wide range of topics and are grouped into the categories of: benchmark, microstructure, seam welds and composite extrusion, material flow and constitutive equations, dies and tools and process control and optimization. However, many other topics, such as new materials (magnesium and its composites) and new composite profiles, are covered.
