Carneiro O.S., Nobrega J.M. (eds.) Design of extrusion forming tools

Shrewsbury: Smithers Rapra Technology Ltd., 2012. — 306 p.There is a clear lack of literature devoted to extrusion dies design and integrating the different phenomena involved, which motivated the authors to write the current book. This book intends to fill this gap, by addressing the phenomena and design issues associated with the tools used in the main types of conventional extrusion lines and also some special extrusion dies. It is expected that it will be a useful reference for higher education students, teachers, researchers and engineers active in the extrusion industry, since it addresses the main scientific problems associated with the design of extrusion tools; it is also intended to serve as a real practical guide for those who are involved in their design. In some cases, simple design methodologies are presented, which can help to solve a specific problem; other times, sophisticated numerical codes (developed in-house or commercially available), are used to illustrate relevant phenomena or the importance of some processing conditions or material properties in the performance of the extrusion tools.Содержание:Main issues in the design of extrusion tools
