The effects of Die Structure on the Extrudability of AZ31Magnesium Alloy

Abstract

This paper describes the effect of dies angles on the extudabirity of AZ31B magnesium alloy ranging from 30 to 90 degrees. It became clear that it can not be obtained a good surface appearance with the 90 degrees die because of the surface cracks. But extrusion pressure and mechanical property of the shapes are almost equal on these die semi-angles.
