Introduction
Extrusion - a method of forming in which
the material is forced through an
opening having a predetermined
shape.
Main Types
1) Forward (direct)
Extrusion Direction is a variable
considered in this lab experiment
2) Reverse (indirect)
Examples
Door & Window Frames.
Aircraft body components.
Structural and Architectural
shapes.

Procedure
1) Coat the flat surfaces of the billet half with red layout dye
2) Use a height gage to scribe cross hatch lines .100 apart
3) Place the billet in the appropriate die assembly
4) Have the instructor check set-up and start the extrusion
5)
