Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0232595A1] Continuous extrusion means in which aluminium or copper feedstock with a nominal diameter approximately 4% greater than the width of the circumferentially extending groove in a continuous extrusion wheel is fed from a feed reel to a centreless lathe or shaving machine set to machine the feedstock to a diameter corresponding to the width of the groove. In thereby removing the surface layer, surface impurities are removed and feedstock with a clean, non-oxidised surface is delivered directly to the groove without the intervention of feed rollers liable to cause distortions in the feedstock whilst ensuring that substantially constant forces arise between the machined-to-size feedstock and the walls of the groove. This reduces any tendency of irregular feed toward the associated abutment and thus enhances the constancy of the product quality as well as avoiding problems arising from oxidation and/or surface imperfections.
