•    Description:  What is the best billet geometry? This article aims to answer this question, looking at which geometry (combination of diameter and length) best minimizes the press force and therefore allows billet temperature to be minimized and extrusion speed maximized. Ultimately, the article suggests that it is better to increase billet diameter than billet length.
