Container: Temperature Range 20-500°C, Length 500-3000 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A critical pressure vessel component in extrusion presses designed to withstand extreme forces while containing and directing the flow of billet material through the die. It serves as the primary containment structure that maintains pressure integrity during the extrusion process, typically operating at pressures ranging from 250 to 1,500 MPa depending on material and application requirements.

Working Principle

The container functions as a pressure vessel that receives the heated billet from the loader, contains it during the extrusion stroke, and directs the material flow through the die opening. It maintains structural integrity under extreme compressive forces while providing precise alignment between the ram and die. The container's internal surface must maintain dimensional stability and surface finish to minimize friction and ensure consistent material flow.

Materials

High-strength alloy steel (typically 4340, H13, or similar tool steels) with hardness 45-55 HRC, often with nitrided or hardened internal surfaces. May include wear-resistant liners or coatings for extended service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of an extrusion press container?

The container serves as the pressure vessel that contains the heated billet material and directs its flow through the die during the extrusion process, maintaining structural integrity under extreme compressive forces.

How often should extrusion press containers be inspected?

Containers should undergo visual inspection after every 500-1000 operating hours, with dimensional checks and non-destructive testing (NDT) performed quarterly or after 5,000-10,000 cycles depending on operating conditions.

What materials are commonly used for extrusion press containers?

High-strength alloy steels like 4340 or H13 tool steel are standard, often with surface treatments such as nitriding or hard chrome plating to enhance wear resistance and extend service life.
