| Hydrostatic extrusion is a process
that billets are extruded by pressurized media in a
closed container with greatly reduced friction force.
During operation a billet is pressurized in all direction
by th liquid medium.
When critical pressure reaches dependent upon size of
the billet, properties of medium and the shape and the
size of the orifice of an extruding die, the billet
sets into extrusion process to form final component.
Since the pressurized medium keeps full contact with
the billet until the process is complete rather than
the billet directly contacts with solid die in conventional
extrusion, the friction generated during the process
is enormously minimized and almost all energy is directly
transferred to the billet, Hydrostatic extrusion can
be performed either at room temperature or elevated
temperatures depending on materials' mechanical properties.
NexTOP Hydrostatic extruder covers extrusion forces
up to 1,000ton utilizing wire-wound pressure container.
Preheating up to 600 กษ make it possible to operate extrusion
process with high strength or hard materials with very
high forming speed
