One of the greatest challenges in actual extrusion operations is efficient and rapid problem solving. Extrusion problems often result in downtime and/or out-of-spec product, and this can be very costly. However, because of the nature of the extrusion process, it is often quite difficult to determine the cause of the problem and find the proper solution, particularly if it must be done quickly. Despite the industrial importance of extrusion troubleshooting, no book currently deals exclusively with this topic. This book rectifies this situation. This book addresses all issues crucial in extrusion troubleshooting. In addition, industrial case studies, which are richly illustrating with color photographs and photomicrographs, are used to provide exemplary approaches to efficient problem analysis and problem solving. Both authors have worked in extrusion for many years and have been involved in many troubleshooting projects. Although it is impossible to discuss all possible extrusion problems, it is possible to discuss the main categories and to develop a systematic and methodical approach to solving extrusion problems. In this book, the authors frequently use flow charts and fishbone charts to allow systematic troubleshooting.
