Design And Manufacturing of a Hydrostatic Extrusion Apparatus for Compound Cylinders from AL And MG
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to design and construct an experimental hydrostatic extrusion apparatus which has a maximum working pressure of 500 bar, and to reduce the cost of this extrusion apparatus. The high-pressure extrusion container has been designed with hydraulic cylinders which is cheap and readily available. Different materials and designs for high-pressure seals were tested and analyzed for the best combination performance. Problems in the extrusion processes using this device were analyzed and solved, which increased the reliability of the device. The results of extrusion experiments have established that this device is practicable.
