The extrusion-cooking condition on Cordyceps pruinosa was designed using twin-screw extruder. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate extrusion-cooking using a central composition design with varying die temperature $(114-146^{\circ}C)$, feed moisture $(22-38\%)$, feed rate (4-14 ka/h) and screw speed (120-280 rpm). System parameters (die pressure and specific mechanical energy (SME)) and extrudate parameters (density and water solubility index (WSI)) were statically analyzed using RSH. Die pressure was significantly affected by temperature, moisture contents and feed rate. SM was affected by screw speed and feed rate. When die temperature is $130^{\circ}C$ and moisture content $25\%$, the optimum pressure is shown. SME is about 20 Wh/kg, when feed rate is $10\~12kg/min$ and screw speed $200\~250rpm$. WSI was affected by temperature and moisture contents. Density was not affected by any factor. WSI increases by $7\%$ from about $23\%$ to about $30\%$, as temperature is raised from $120^{\circ}C\;to\;140^{\circ}C$. The WSI of Cordyceps pruinosa pulverized after extruding (PE) is about $26.97\%$ higher than that of raw material and $10\%$ higher than that of pulverized after drying (PD). The content of unsaturated fatty acid were not significantly different in PD and PE. Anti-oxidative activity of PE was 1.67-2.2 times higher than that of PD in Cordyceps pruinosa using 1- dipheny1-2-picrylhydrazyl method (DPPH).

System parameters (extrusion temperature, extrusion pressure, specific mechanical energy, mean residence time) were analysed on three different screw configurations during twin-screw extrusion of wheat bran. Experiments were conducted over a screw speed of $280{\sim}380\;rpm$, feed rate of $22{\sim}38\;kg/hr$ and moisture content of $17{\sim}33%$ using screws assembled with 3, 4, and 5 reverse screw elements (RSE) adjacent to the heating zone of the barrel. Extrusion temperature increased with increasing RSE but it decreased with increasing feed rate and moisture content. Decreasing the filling ratio of the screw resulted in a lower extrusion pressure, and increasing the length of the RSE gave similar results due to the higher temperature and lower viscosity of melted dough. It was also observed that increasing the feed rate and decreasing moisture content resulted in the reduced extrusion pressure. Specific mechanical energy (SME) decreased when the feed rate and moisture content increased, and SME increased when using RSE posses from 3 to 5. Screw configuration posses with 4 RSE yielded the longest RT, and the smaller the die hole, the higher the RT. In contrast, RT decreased when the feed rate increased. With increasing moisture content RT for 3 RSE increased, but that for 4 and 5 RSE decreased.

The objective of this study was to determine effects of the die temperature(100 and $120^{\circ}C$) and screw speed(200 and 300 rpm) on the characteristics of extruded raw ginseng such as crude saponin, ginsenosides, maltol and the color of powder. Crude saponin content increased after extrusion-cooking. Ginsenoside $Rg_1\;and\;Rg_2$ that contained in red ginseng increased from 0.2275 mg/g to 0.2835 mg/g$(Rg_l)$ and 0.1164 mg/g to 0.2230 mg/g$(Rg_2)$ with the increase in die temperature from 100 to $120^{\circ}C$, which increased with the decrease in screw speed from 300 to 200 rpm. Maltol, specific component in red ginseng was detected in extruded ginseng. Total sugar content was not changed by extrusion process, however reducing sugar decreased with the increase in die temperature from 100 to $120^{\circ}C$. In conclusion extrusion process can be applied to red ginseng manufacturing by controling extrusion process variables such as extrusion temperature and screw speed.

Extruded ginseng was manufactured using twin-screw extruder under 300 rpm screw speed, 21 kg/hr feed rate, $80-150^{\circ}C$ extrusion temperature, and by addition of water (12.1-30.6%). Extraction yield and contents of total carbohydrate and uronic acid in extruded ginseng at room temperature extraction (RT) increased with increasing extrusion temperature, whereas those of boiling temperature extracts (BT) were not affected by increasing extrusion temperature. Contents of nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) in RT and BT extracts increased 340 and 142%, respectively, compared to that of raw ginseng. Main sugar compositions of NSP in RT and BT extracts were arabinose, galactose, and glucose. Extraction yields of total and crude saponins in extruded ginseng at optimize extrusion condition were higher than that of raw ginseng. In RT extracts, molecular weights of polysaccharides from raw were higher than that of extruded ginseng polymer, whereas in BT extracts molecular weights of polysaccharides from extruded ginseng were higher than those of raw ginseng polysaccharides.

In order to elucidate the extrusion characteristics of $SiC_{p}$/6061 Al composite, defomation resistance, $K_{w}$ was determined using the empirical formula suggested by Watanabe et al, and also extrusion pressure was measured using the extrusion press with a capacity of 350 ton. The $K_{w}$ which are propotional to extrudability, was increased with increasing volume fraction of reinforcement, $SiC_{p}$, but decreased with increasing the particle size. The peaks of maximum extrusion pressure in curves of extrusion force vs ram stroke were changed sharply with decreasing the particle size. The elevated extrustion temperature resulted in the decreased $K_{w}$ and extrusion pressure, but caused the surface tearing of extrusion composite bars. The results showed that extrudability of the composite billets is depend on the extrusion conditions as well as the characteristics of reinforcement, $SiC_{p}$.

Purpose: The study was conducted to analyze the change in quality characteristics of Ddukguk Garaedduk and Ddukgukdduk by the frequency of extruding rice dough. Methods: Ddukguk Garaedduk samples were made by extruding and shaping rice flour dough 2, 3, and 4 times; while Ddukgukdduk samples were made by drying the Ddukguk Garaedduk at room temperature for 48 hours and slicing them in slices of 0.3 cm thickness. Results: Significant differences were not found in water content by the extrusion frequency for Ddukguk Garaedduk and Ddukgukdduk. The adhesiveness and springiness of Ddukguk Garaedduk with a 4 times extrusion were significantly higher than those of Ddukguk Garaedduk with a 2 times extrusion. Ddukgukdduk with a 4 times extrusion generated finer cells and a more even distribution of cells than the other samples, as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Upon boiling, significantly more water was absorbed in Ddukgukdduk of a 2 times extrusion than in that of a 4 times extrusion. Hardness and adhesiveness scores of the cooked Ddukgukdduk were the highest, and springiness was the lowest in the sample with the 4 times extrusion. Conclusion: The extrusion of rice dough makes the structure of Ddukguk Garaedduk finer and more even, which results in the increased adhesiveness of Ddukguk Garaedduk. When cooking Ddukguk, Ddukgukdduk that has been extruded more absorbs less water and dissolves less solids, which maintains the chewiness and structure of cooked Ddukgukdduk.

In the analysis of metal forming process, ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) finite element methods have been increasingly used for the capability to control mesh independently from material flow. The methods can be divided into two groups i.e., coupled and split formulations. In the present work, the split ALE formulation is used for computational efficiency. A split ALE finite element method developed for rigid-viscoplastic materials and applied to the analysis of hot square die extrusion. Since thermal state greatly affects the product quality, an ALE scheme for temperature analysis is also presented. As computational examples, profile shapes as square and cross-like sections are chosen.

As a macromolecule material, melted rubber flow shows characteristics of shear thinning fluid. The dynamic viscosity of this rubber fluid is influenced by temperature and shear strain rate. In this study, the numerical simulation of rubber extrusion forming process has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. Power-law model considering the effect of shear rate is used for the computer simulation of this non-Newyonian flow. Also Non-isothermal behavior is considered as Arrhenius-law model. Distributions of velocity and temperature are predicted through the simulation.

The aim of this study is to develop the dies oven for energy-saving during the pre-heated process of extrusion dies. Applying high-efficiency near-infrared heater, single cell type dies oven was developed as a substitute for traditional chest type oven. Therefore the dies is individually heated uniformly to operation temperature so rapidly. By using the developed dies oven, electric-energy consumption of preheating extrusion dies reduced up to 30% and the waiting time in the oven also minimized up to 90min. In addition, the results have shown that it is possible to accurately control the dies temperature for improving the quality of extruded profile and to minimize die bearing oxidation and nitride layer degradation responsible for surface defects on the profile and shorter die life.

Although magnesium alloy has received much attention to date for its lightweight and high specific strength, their applications are impeded by the low formability which is caused by the hexagonal crystal structure at room temperature. In general, equal-channel angular extrusion(ECAE) is recognized as one of the attractive severe plastic deformation techniques where the processed bulk metals generally achieve ultrafine-grained microstructure leading to improved physical characteristics and mechanical properties. ECAE process has several parameters such as angle of die, process temperature, process route and speed. During ECAE process of Mg alloy, these parameters has great influence on the extrudability and the mechanical properties of alloy. The aim of this study is to estimate the influences of process conditions on the formability of AZ31 and AZ31-CaO alloys. Mg alloys are processed through ECAE at elevated temperatures using three types of die with channel angle of $90^{\circ}$, $110^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$ using route $B_c$, respectively. This study discusses the feasibility of using ECAE to improve both formability and strength on magnesium alloys by comparative analyzing the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution in each condition.
