IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR EXTRUDING A METAL BILLET

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4095641

A vertical extrusion press is designed for hot working zircouium-clad U-- 10% Mo alloy billets for reactor fuel elements as described in Patent No. 85l,948. The press includes a ram to force the billet from a container through the orifice of an extrusion die and induction heating coils positioned just outside the container to heat the billet before extrusion. The advantage of this press is that its parts remain cool as compared with extrusion methods in which the billet is heated separately in a furnace. (D.L.C.)
