EXTRUDING AND DRAWING MOLYBDENUM TO COMPLEX THIN H-SECTION. Interim Technical Engineering Report No, 2, October 1, 1963-December 31, 1963

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4110249

Sixteen solid round extrusions of TZM were made primarily to determine suitable die materials. Reduction ratios at 45: 1 and 55: 1 were accomplished from a billet temperature range of 3000 to 3500 deg F. On the basis of good surface quality and dimensional runout on round extrusions, H-shaped dies will be prepared with.035-inch flamesprayed zirconia as well as with pressed and sintered solid zirconia. Extrusion tooling performed well up to 237,000 psi liner pressure except for noticeable wear at the liner working surface. (auth)
