Aluminum profile extrusion die correction involves several key aspects aimed at ensuring uniform metal flow and producing high-quality extruded products. The main methods include adjusting the metal flow distribution ratio—such as modifying the size of die flow diversion holes or channels, adjusting the depth of electric erosion drainage grooves, and optimizing the length of die holes to control the speed at which metal exits the die. Additionally, techniques like blocking barriers can be used to regulate flow and improve consistency. These adjustments help ensure that metal flows evenly through the die, resulting in a defect-free extrusion.
The initial metal flow distribution is primarily determined by the mold designer during the design and manufacturing process. Once the mold is made, the distribution is generally fixed, making it crucial for designers to create a balanced and efficient layout from the start. If the flow distribution is not properly designed, it can lead to uneven metal flow, making mold corrections more challenging and sometimes even impossible. However, in most cases, the frictional resistance between the metal and the mold can be modified to influence the flow rate. This includes adjusting the contact friction between the metal and the die surface, the working belt of the die hole, and the internal friction between metal layers.
By altering the amount of metal supplied, the friction conditions, the length of the working belt, and the extrusion speed, it's possible to fine-tune the metal flow and achieve better results. Mold correction typically focuses on these factors to optimize the flow characteristics of the metal, ensuring that it exits the die hole uniformly and consistently. To address issues caused by uneven metal flow, it's essential to study how to balance the flow rate across different sections of the profile.
This principle is fundamental in both mold design and operation. Although multiple factors influence the metal’s exit speed, they can be summarized into two main aspects: first, whether the metal flow is appropriately distributed across all parts of the profile, meaning the cross-sectional area of each section corresponds to the metal flow from its respective supply area. Second, the level of frictional resistance encountered during metal flow. When more metal is supplied to a particular section, the resistance decreases, allowing for faster extrusion, and vice versa.
In summary, the key to repairing aluminum extrusion dies lies in accurate analysis, proper judgment, and effective adjustment of the metal flow rate. This ensures consistent and high-quality extrusion outcomes.
