Factors affecting the size of aluminum profile(Five)
The amount of tensile straightening
After the extrusion die hole, in order to
correct the twisting, bending and waves, the aluminum profile with high
plasticity at high temperature is corrected in time, and it is often necessary
to set a guide close to the mold outlet. The size and shape of the guide should
be determined according to the size and shape of the product section, which is
generally similar to the shape of the product. Some without a guide can use
graphite strips to force the profiles to a certain direction and angle near the
outlet, so the profile is initially straightened in the hot state.
Tensile straightening causes the aluminum
profile to produce slight plastic deformation under the action of tension and
achieve straightening.
When extruding from the hot state to the
cold state, according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction,
the size of the product section will also become slightly smaller. Therefore,
in order to ensure that the size of the extruded product is within the
allowable tolerance range after stretching, the extruded profile must have a
reasonable allowable tolerance (called extrusion deviation) before stretching.
In addition, it will also cause changes in
the geometry of the section when stretching, such as the opening or closing of
the opening part of the profile. In order to overcome these problems, c Pay
attention to controlling the tensile elongation, choose the appropriate
clamping direction, and use the method of adding straightening pads to solve
the problem.
