Continuous extrusion encompasses a class of metal forming techniques in which billet or feedstock is continuously forced through a die to produce long-sections of uniform cross-section. Unlike batch ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...
