Extrusion Press Procedure6.1 Extrusion parameters should be controlled as follows:4Manual on Presentation of Data and Control Chart Analysis, Seventh Edition

35、,ASTM MNL7A, ASTM International, 2002.B9450626.1.1 During the extrusion process, the following tempera-ture measuring points should be monitored and controlled asper the producers internal procedures. The measuring pointsinclude but are not limited to:6.1.1.1 Billet or log temperature in the heating

36、 equipment.6.1.1.2 Billet or log temperature after heating and beforecharging into the extrusion press.6.1.1.3 Temperature of the extrudate at the press exit.6.1.1.4 Temperature of the extrudate at quench entry.6.1.1.5 Temperature of the extrudate at the completion ofquench.6.1.2 Billet temperature

37、shall not exceed the maximumtemperature for the alloy as listed in Table 1.NOTE 2The surface temperature of a billet or log may differ signifi-cantly from its interior temperature. Temperature sensing devices maygive instantaneous values at a specific point, or give average values overtime or over a

38、n area. Note that gradients differ between induction andgas-fired billet heaters.6.2 Heated billets should be loaded into the extrusion pressin a reasonably short period of time. If the billet temperaturefalls below the producers minimum allowed billet temperatureas used to qualify the process, or i

39、f the time between heatingand extruding exceeds the producers internal limit, that billetshall be rejected or reprocessed (for example, by reheating).7.
