• Description: This article discusses extrusion containers, presenting the idea that containers have little effect on isothermal extrusion. A container with a built in stable thermal gradient (rather than an uniform temperature) provides the optimal extrusion condition. The article also looks at why containers fail and the importance of tool steel selection.
