Abstract:A set of explicit formulas for the design of shear extrusion die, including the layout of die opening and specification of die channel length were given. The extrusion of slab and triangular sections were discussed and the influences of the width, position of the die opening, the reduction of area of the processes on the die design were analyzed. The calculated results are in good agreement with industry practice.

Key words: shape extrusion die design element deformation analysis method
