Conformal cooling channels (CCCs) are employed to improve the cooling rate due to the
equal distance from the mold surface. CCCs play a key role in mold injection productivity by …

The present review paper would celebrate the 25 years anniversary of the ESAFORM
association by summarizing the studies performed by the delegates of the ESAFORM …

This paper presents an overview of the recent advances in optimization of die design
through finite element analysis for aluminum alloys of 6xxx series. The die design and …

Limited by the characteristics of drilling, the traditional straight cooling channel is difficult to
provide the best cooling effect for the mold. The conformal cooling channel is more and …

The paper presents a review of the literature and authors' research on the current
achievements in the field of extrusion of aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, powders and …

Aluminium production needs the most energy‐intensive technologies among all the metal
processing sectors. During the process of aluminium profile extrusion, the whole production …

Nitrogen cooling has been identified as a powerful industrial solution for the hot extrusion
process to remove heat in the die and in the profile. The complexity involved in the design of …

The conformal cooling channel is more and more favored by the mold enterprises because
of its excellent cooling performance. However, the current design of conformal cooling …

Similar to the injection moulding process, the cooling step of thermoforming is the most
complex one and will massively influence the productivity (cycle time) and quality of the …

Lightweight automotive extrusions are increasingly complex, thin-walled, multi-hollow
profiles made from high-strength, quench-sensitive aluminum alloys such as AA6082. These …
