mäntäekstruusiossa
Mäntäekstruusio is a manufacturing process used to form solid materials. It involves forcing a material through a die under pressure. This is typically done by a ram or piston pushing the material from one end. The die has a specific shape, and as the material is extruded through it, it takes on that shape. This method is particularly useful for creating long, continuous shapes with a consistent cross-section. Materials that can be processed using mäntäekstruusio include metals, plastics, and ceramics. The process can be performed hot or cold, depending on the material's properties and the desired outcome. Hot extrusion involves heating the material to a high temperature, making it more malleable and easier to force through the die. Cold extrusion is performed at or near room temperature, which can result in improved mechanical properties of the finished product due to work hardening. The resulting extruded products are often used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction for components like rods, tubes, and profiles.
