Development and experimental assessment of a numerical modelling code to aid the design of profile extrusion cooling tools

On the extrusion of thermoplastic profiles, upon the forming stage that takes place in the extrusion die, the profile must be cooled in a metallic calibrator. This stage must be done at a high rate, to assure increased productivity, but avoiding the development of high temperature gradients, in orde...
