When1is known for specific conditions, the maximum increment ofthe extrusion pressure in the stationary rectangular channel withfour friction walls (Fig. 2a) is:Delta1pY=(2n 1)(1 + m)(1/Y)m(2)Here parameters n = L/T and m = W/T define relative billetlength and width. In particular, m = 1 corresponds to the ordi-nary case of long bar- or rod-like billets, m greatermuch 1 corresponds toflat plate-like billets and m lessmuch 1 corresponds to strip-like billets.Formulae (1) and (2) show that, depending on n and m, the extru-sion pressure pemay be significantly bigger than the materialflow stress Y even for low friction 1.The effective way to reduce contact friction, increase toollife and punch stability is via movable channel walls 7.Inone possible case (Fig. 2b, for detail see 7), the inlet channelis formed by one stationary die wall and rectangular slot ofthe slider 2, which moves together with the billet 1.

Then, the extrusionpeis:e= p1+ Delta1p (1)p1is the axial pressure at the channel entry. Experimentsw that in all cases the increment of pressure Delta1p changes in theproportion with the channel length L. That allows one tothat effective plastic friction 1is uniformly distributedthe Delta1p may be calculated by the formula:= 1fFig. 2.

For effective processing, this ratio shouldsufficiently large. Practically, n is selected between 4 and 8.increment Delta1p/Y is almost twice as large for Fig. 2c thanFig. 2b.

In these cases, ECAE of sufficiently large billets andmaterials can be performed only in dies with movablewalls at powerful presses. However, for flat billets, twovable channel walls provide insignificant reduction of thextrusion pressure. Therefore, simple dies with stationary inletand ordinary presses can be used in many cases of largebillets.Outlet channelIn contrast to the inlet channel, lubrication of the outlet chan-is a challenging problem (Fig. 4a). Because of the sharpin the extrusion direction, high normal pressure at thewall, intensive slip and uncovering of the atomic cleanalong a bottom contact surface O1B, heavy scratches,and galling can be observed even with the best lubricants. That leads to high extrusion pressure, poor billet surfaceintensive die wear. All these problems can be eliminated bya movable slider along the bottom channel wall (Fig. 4b).

In these cases, the inlet channelswith two movable walls are necessary to reduce the extrusionpressure. For flat billets with W/T greatermuch 1 this effect is insignificantand simple stationary inlet channels may be used.The basic processing routes for flat billets lead to similarmaterial distortions as in long square billets. However, routes Band D with spatial plastic flows provide different orientationsof shear bands/high angle boundaries and are less effective thanfor long billets. Other processing routes, similar to consideredroutes E and D, should be introduced in spe
