Abstract

The Extrusion Benchmark 2023 was focused on the evaluation of different die design strategies for the manufacturing of AA6082 hollow tubes (40 mm external diameter and 4 mm thickness) through a porthole die with 3 openings. The extrusion process was monitored in industrial environment in terms of press load, profiles speed, profiles exit temperature, and die temperatures under different processing conditions (air quenching, water quenching, nitrogen die cooling). Extruded profiles were then analyzed in terms of seam weld quality, charge weld extension and microstructure evolution for both air/water quench and presence/absence of nitrogen cooling. The results of the study are aimed at validating FEM simulation outputs in the context of the International Conference on Extrusion and Benchmark (ICEB).
