Our Die Concepts for the Transportation Sector

The most prominent features of aluminum solutions in the transportation sector are light weight, high energy absorption, excellent formability, and corrosion resistance. Extruded aluminum is a basic material in the construction of train, bus, trailer, and truck bodies. It is also an ideal choice for use in marine and land environments.

Butterfly Die

When: Today, Butterfly Die is considered one of the best products made by Experts. Recommended: Suitable for all aluminum alloys available in the market. Products: Sidewalls and sunshades.

Dog Bone

The die covers in these molds are subjected to maximum stress typically on small, weak radii, resulting in tensile stresses due to tool deflection. Using Dog Bone technology, we apply a compressive force that reduces stress in the required areas, increasing die life. Recommended: For all 6000 series alloys. Products: Window sills, wide solid sections, sidewalls.

Shrinking Ring

This die is used when the die cover under load is subjected to extreme stress that can exceed the plastic limit. Using the principle of thermal shrinkage, we place a ring on the cover section with the aim of reducing its deflection under load and, consequently, the maximum stress. Thanks to the shrinkage ring technology, the covers are more stable and their operating life can be doubled. Last but not least, by using the shrinkage ring, it is possible to reduce the required die diameter and/or give a full guarantee to a die that normally cracks under load. Products: Railway Sections

Turbo

The advantages are high productivity, low exit temperature, and high quality anodized finish.

Under The Bridge

With 8 years of experience in finite element analysis, our engineering office can precisely redesign aluminum extrusion dies to achieve optimal weld positions. Recommended: This technique is essential when designing rail sections and automotive parts that require specific weld positions due to design constraints. Products: Rail sections, automotive body sections.
