Improper material selection

Extrusion taps are typically made from high-speed steel, but the performance varies with different materials. Taps for various operations also require different materials. If not made from high-speed steel, the tap is prone to breaking.

Insufficient manufacturing processes

The manufacturing process for extrusion taps is highly complex, and improper handling can easily lead to various issues such as overheating and excessive wear. These problems may not be apparent during the manufacturing process but may surface during use.

III. Harsh Usage Conditions

When using extrusion taps, it is crucial to avoid overcompression and overstretching. Additionally, the correct lubricant must be selected based on the operating conditions, as excessive friction can damage the tap surface and lead to breakage.

Improper usage

When using a tap, it is crucial to follow the correct procedures to avoid wear, damage, or breakage. For instance, one must properly select the tap diameter, install the tap correctly, and use the appropriate working speed and feed rate.

To prevent the breakage of extrusion dies due to overpressure, it is imperative to strictly adhere to the safe operation procedures during their use. This includes selecting the correct material and manufacturing process as required, and appropriately choosing the lubricant and proper usage methods to ensure efficient operation and a long lifespan for the extrusion dies.

Extrusion screws face various challenges during manufacturing and use, but by selecting the right material, proper manufacturing techniques, and the correct lubricant and application methods, their efficient and long-lasting performance can be ensured.
