20140174143 | EXTRUSION PRESS CONTAINER AND MANTLE FOR SAME - A container for use in a metal extrusion press comprises a mantle having an elongate body comprising an axial bore, an elongate liner accommodated within the axial bore, the liner comprising a longitudinally extending passage through which a billet is advanced, and a fluid channel in thermal communication with the mantle through which a fluid for cooling the container flows. | 06-26-2014 |
20140027941 | EXTRUSION DIE PRE-HEATING DEVICE AND METHOD - A method of pre-heating an extrusion die comprises heating an extrusion die using a first group of heating elements and a second group of heating elements; and then heating the extrusion die using only the first group of heating elements to bring the extrusion die to a desired pre-heat temperature, or heating the extrusion die using the first and second groups of heating elements, the second group of heating elements being operated at reduced power, to bring the extrusion die to a desired pre-heat temperature. | 01-30-2014 |
20130187303 | EXTRUSION DIE PRE-HEATING SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD - A die pre-heating system comprises at least one die oven, a robotic hoist and processing structure in communication with the hoist and the at least one die oven. The processing structure is configured to control the hoist to permit an extrusion die to be loaded into the at least one die oven and to be unloaded from the at least one die oven. The processing structure is also configured to cause the at least one die oven to operate according to a production formula for pre-heating an extrusion die loaded therein. | 07-25-2013 |
20130074568 | EXTRUSION PRESS CONTAINER AND LINER FOR SAME - A liner for an extrusion press container comprises an elongate body having a longitudinally extending passage therein through which a billet is advanced, the passage having a generally rectangular cross-sectional profile. The liner further comprises at least one first longitudinally extending heating element accommodated by the body adjacent a first side of the passage, and at least one second longitudinally extending heating element accommodated by the body adjacent a second side of the passage. The first and second heating elements are individually controllable for controlling a thermal profile within the liner. | 03-28-2013 |
