In this study a practical formula based on the experime수 랙 the estimation of load in the non-circular tube extrusion with the mandrel is proposed by using the effective extrusion ratio. Through some experiments for the several shaped sections, the coefficients of the empirical equation are determined by ticine as a model material at room temperature. The proposed empirical formula for the estimation of extrusion load will be applicable to the non-steady state as well as steady state for the extrusion of various shaped tubes from hollow billets.

In order to reduce the forming load of backward extrusion to a feasible level a new backward extrusion processes are proposed. In these process the shape of punch and die for conventional backward extrusion are change to open backward extrusion. To analyse the process numerical simulations by the finite element method has been performed, This simulation gave good results concerning the prediction of the forming load material flow and the corresponding shape of forged products, . These predictions set the limits of the preform shape and forming load depending on the punch and die geometry. The results show that the forming load is reduced significantly when the conventional backward extrusion change to open backward extrusion.

Effect of some process variables including area reduction, stroke advance, materials on the extrusion load, plastic flow and height ratio of upper to lower extruded parts in the cup-cup axisymmetric extrusion were experimentally investigated and analyzed. Deformed pattern is visualized by grid-marking technique using half-cut billets splitted. The influence of using split specimen and original specimen on the extrusion load and height ratio is examined by experiment.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of the forming load characteristics of a forward-backward can extrusion process. The analysis in this paper is extended to the selection of press frame capacity for producing efficiently final product at low cost. The possible extrusion processes to shape a forward-backward can part with different outer diameters are categorized to investigate quantitatively the forming load, forming energy and maximum pressure exerted on the die-material interface. The categorized processes are composed of combined and/or some basic extrusion processes. After the analysis of the forming load characteristics, the frame capacity of press suitable for a selected process could be determined along with securing the load capacity and with considering productivity. In addition, it is also suggested that different load capacities be selected for different dimensions of a part such as the wall thickness in forward direction. The work in this paper could be a good reference for analysis of complex extrusion and selection of proper frame capacity of press to achieve low production cost and thus high productivity.

Extrusion process in the bulk material for fabrication of miniature helical gears has problems such as a high forming load and short tool life because the cross-section is complex and asymmetry. To overcome these problems, in this study, miniature helical gears were fabricated by Zn-22Al powder hot extrusion. The included die angle for minimum extrusion load and improving die filling was determined by FE-simulation. The Zn-22Al spheroidal powder produced by gasatomization were compacted and sintered for extrusion experiment. The dimension of helical-gear is 0.3mm in module, 3.35mm in pitch diameter, $15^{\circ}$ in helix angle and the number of teeth is 12. All of the extrusion experiments were performed with internal helical gear die which was machined by precision electric discharge machining using the electrode. The experiment was conducted at $190^{\circ}C$ to $310^{\circ}C$ to obtain extrusive and mechanical properties. The extruded helical gears were analyzed through extrusion load, Vickers hardness and SEM images for each extrusion temperature. The powder hot extrusion process was successfully applied to fabricate a miniature helical gear.

A process comprising a hot extrusion process and a warm forging process was designed to form a T-shaped aluminum structural component with a high degree of difficulty by the plastic forming method. A circular cylindrical part was extruded with a hot extrusion process, and then an embossing part was formed with a warm forging process. The formability and the maximum load required for forming were then determined using a forming analysis program. The hot extrusion process was executed at $450^{\circ}C$ under the extrusion speed at 6 mm/s, while the warm forging process was executed at $260^{\circ}C$ under the forging speed at 150 mm/s. For both the processes, a condition by which friction would not be generated between the mold and the material was implemented. The analysis results showed that the load required for hot extrusion was 1,019 tons, while the load required for the warm forging was 534 tons. The T-shaped part was manufactured by using a 1,600 tons capacity press. The graphite lubricant was coated on the mold as well as the material. A forming experiment was performed under the same condition with the analysis condition. The measured values from the load cell were 1,210 tons in the hot extrusion process and 600 tons in the warm forging process.

A simple kinematically admissible velocity field is proposed to determine the final-stage extrusion load and the average extruded length in the square-die forward extrusion of regular polygonal-shaped bars from circular billets. From the proposed velocity field, the upper-bound extrusion load and the average extruded length are determined by minimizing the total power consumption with respect to four parameters. Experiments have been carried out with hard solder billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the extrusion load are in good agreements with the experimental results and there is generally reason able agreement in average extruded length between theory and experiment.

In this paper backward extrusion process with lower die rotation was studied to improve the conventional backward extrusion problems ; requirement of large forming machine, the difficulty to selecting of die material caused by high surface pressure, high cost of forming machine caused by improvement of noise and vibration, and etc. In this experiment, model material, plasticine, was used of specimen. The result values of torsional and conventional backward extrusions were analyzed and compared. FE-simulation is used for analysis with DEFPRM-3D. These results show that the torsional backward extrusion is very useful process because this process can obtain the homogeneous deformation, low forming load. Decreasing forming load improves die life and makes it possible to use press of relatively low capacity. Also this process can reduce corner cavity, improve the initial cast-structure, owing to the high deformation and uniform starin distribution.

A new extrusion process of the circular section product with helical fins could be developed by rotating extrusion die. The twisting of extruded product is caused by the twisted conical die surface connecting the die entrance section and the die exit section linearly. But, until now, because the process has used fixed extrusion die, it needs high pressure in order to twist billet and form fin shape on the surface of billet. So, during extruding billet, in order not to twist billet, the extrusion die is needed to rotate itself instead of twisting of billet. It is known that it is possible to reduce extrusion load of product with helical fins by analysis and experiments using rotating die. And it is known that, through the extrusion load analysis by $DEFORM^{TM}-3D$ software, optimal rotational velocity of rotating die can be obtained according to reduction ratio of area and twisted angle of die. And experiments and analysis using rotating extrusion die show that the twisted angle of product can be controlled by twisted angle of extrusion helical die and the rotational velocity of extrusion helical die.
