•    Title:  Defects Affecting Extrusion – Press Quenching Effect on Product Quality (Part 2)

•    Volume:  Vol. 76, No. 4

•    Year:  2018

•    No. Pages:  2.5

•    Description:  The 25th article in a series, this article covers part two of the press quenching effect on product quality. Applying and controlling the adequate quench rate is essential for achieving the structural soundness of the profile in terms of mechanical properties, overall profile dimensions, and tolerances. This can affect post-extrusion processes such as anodizing, resulting in an unacceptable surface finish. In part two, the article addresses the essentials of billet preheating, profile distortion due to press quenching, and surface defects on press-quenched profiles, including water stain and soft spots.
