With the increasingly fierce competition in the aluminum alloy profile market, many aluminum alloy profile production companies have invested infinite energy in the acquisition, application, maintenance and management of kneading molds, which is an excellent scene. However, to improve the die of aluminum profile extrusion press machine plant line, we still have to grasp the details, do a good job in the statistical analysis and cost consumption of the die, so as to seize the first opportunity

In the actual production, some molds fail to reach the predetermined output value when kneading, which is severe and even abandoned early when kneading less than 20 rods or running the machine less than twice, so that the molds made of valuable mold steel are far from realizing their due benefits. This phenomenon is now common in many domestic aluminum profile production companies, which not only causes a lot of economic losses, but also wastes power.

How to solve this question? How to improve the quality of aluminum alloy profile kneading machine?

First, the mould must be polished and polished before the machine is started, and the working belt usually needs polishing to mirror. Check the flatness and straightness of the mold operation belt before installation. The quality of nitriding determines the polishing finish of the working belt to a certain extent. It is necessary to clean the mold cavity with high-pressure air and brush, and there shall be no dust or impurities. Otherwise, it is easy to pull the operation belt under the surge of metal flow, so that the kneaded profile goods have the disadvantages of thick surface or scribed line.

2、 During kneading production, the mold insulation time is usually at the mercy of 2-3 hours, but not more than 8 hours, otherwise the hardness of the nitriding layer of the mold operation belt will decrease, resulting in no wear resistance when on the machine, resulting in rough appearance of the profile, and severe defects such as scribing.

3、 Select accurate alkali washing (mold boiling) method. After the mold is unloaded, the mold temperature is above 500 ° C. if it is immersed in alkali water immediately, because the alkali water temperature is much lower than the mold temperature. If the mold temperature drops rapidly, the mold is easy to crack. The accurate method is to place the mold in the air at 100 ° - 150 ° C after unloading the mold, and then immerse it in alkaline water.

4、 Optimize the kneading process. To scientifically extend the service life of molds and reasonably use molds for production is an aspect that can not be ignored. Because the operating conditions of kneading die are very bad, reasonable methods must be adopted to ensure the arrangement function of die in kneading production.

5、 In the early stage of kneading die application, it is necessary to carry out reasonable surface nitriding treatment process for the die. The surface nitriding treatment can greatly improve the surface hardness of the die on the premise of maintaining sufficient tolerance, so as to reduce the thermal wear during the application of the die. It should be noted that the surface nitriding can not be completed at one time. It is necessary to carry out repeated nitriding treatment for 3-4 times during the service of the die. Usually, the thickness of the nitriding layer is required to reach 0.15mm.

6、 In the application of mold, the application strength from low to high and then to low is selected. When the mold just enters the service period, the internal metal arrangement function is still in the floating period. During this period, a low-intensity operation plan should be selected to make the mold transition to the stable period.

7、 Strengthen the application and maintenance records of molds in the kneading production process, and improve the tracking records and files of each set of molds. The kneading mold is invalid from the acceptance of the factory to the use of the mold. The central time is as short as a few months and as long as more than a year. Basically speaking, the application records of molds also record the various processes of profile production.

8、 Select the appropriate kneading model for production. Before kneading production, the profile section shall be fully calculated according to the disorder degree of profile section, wall thickness and kneading coefficient λ To determine the tonnage of the kneading machine.

9、 The section of aluminum alloy profile kneading machine itself is ever-changing, and the aluminum kneading profession has developed to this day. Aluminum alloy has the main advantages of light weight and good strength. Now many occupations choose aluminum profile to replace the original data. Because of the special of some profiles, the mold is difficult to plan and manufacture because of the special section of profiles.

10、 Select ingot and heating temperature reasonably. The alloy composition of kneading ingot shall be strictly controlled. Now, companies usually request the ingot grain size to reach the first-class specification to enhance plasticity and reduce anisotropy.
