Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The keynote address discusses metallurgical and engineering challenges in magnesium extrusion. The Extrusion Benchmark for 2013 presents the experimental analysis of Mandrel deflection, local temperature, and pressure in extrusion dies. Another 17 papers cover friction evaluation, material flow, seam welding phenomena, microstructure, and processes and process optimization. Among the topics are a new high-speed friction test for extrusion processes, a novel method for three-dimensional die design in the extrusion process using equi-potential lines, simulating material flow coupled with die analysis in complex-shape extrusion, the non-destructive detection of weld seams in extruded aluminum profiles, and manufacturing steel-reinforced aluminum parts by co-extrusion and subsequent forging.
