There are many processing methods for 6061 alloy aluminum plates, and extrusion technology is one of them. Forward extrusion is a relatively basic extrusion method, which involves the extrusion of products in the same direction as the Asian movement during the extrusion process.

 

Forward extrusion has become a widely used method in the forming and processing of aluminum and aluminum alloy materials due to its mature technology, simple process operation, high production flexibility, and the ability to obtain products with excellent surfaces. Forward extrusion can also be subdivided, such as general three-dimensional deformation extrusion, axisymmetric deformation extrusion, and plane deformation extrusion, or divided into hot extrusion, warm extrusion, and hot extrusion.

 

Forward extrusion also has its own drawbacks. The essential feature of forward extrusion is that there is relative sliding between the blank and the extrusion cylinder during extrusion, resulting in significant external friction. In most cases, this type of friction is harmful, as it causes uneven water flow rate of the metal material, which in turn has adverse effects on the quality of the extruded product, leading to uneven tissue and performance between the head and tail, surface and center parts of the extruded product; Increase the energy consumption of extrusion. Generally, the friction energy consumption on the inner surface of the extrusion cylinder accounts for 30% to 40% of the extrusion energy consumption, or even higher; Due to the strong frictional heating effect, the increase in extrusion speed of the low melting point alloy in 6061 aluminum plate is limited, accelerating the wear of the extrusion mold.
