    Notes:

    In direct extrusion a ram forces the preheated brass billet through the die. This can be likened to squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. Using this method it is possible to extrude up to six lengths from one die.
    Direct extrusion is usually used for the manufacture of profiled sections and hollow bar products.
    Indirect extrusion is the reverse of direct extrusion, the die being forced on to the billet rather than the billet being forced through the die.
