The composite sections comprise at least two components, one of which is fed into the stream of metal being extruded and is securely joined to the face of the product without coming into contact with the face of the extrusion die.
Claims5
In an extrusion device for manufacturing composite sections including at least a metal and two flat metal strips and comprising an entry plate, a mandrel plate and a die plate having a die opening defined therein with short and long axes, the improvement comprising:
- two substantially symmetrical feeding channels for feeding in said metal strips defined by at least some of said plates, said feeding channels extending through said mandrel plate and uniting unobstructedly thereby defining a passageway extending substantially parallel to said short axis at said die opening and opening into said die plate, whereby said metal and said metal strips are separate in said entry plate and said mandrel plate and contact each other in said die opening, wherein there is provided at least one region of curvature in said feeding channels to promote low friction.
