• Description: This is the second article in a series focused on finite element analysis (FEA) in extrusion die design. When considering the defects typically encountered by extruders while
producing certain types of sections, die makers can choose a die concept that helps to minimize those defects as well as further optimize the design using FEA. This article looks at how a die maker can use FEA to consider whether to include central beams in a die design for hollow profiles.
