“…After a steep increase, the temperature graph flattens out, and then remains flat during the stroke, or it may increase all the time, eventually drop down towards the end of the stroke, after having passed over a maximum value. As regards temperature determined by theory, already in 1956, Bishop 5 showed the presence of a hot spot in the extrusion metal at the entrance to/ in the die bearing, by calculation and drawing of iso-temperature lines on the longitudinal section of the billet. Numerical methods, as the finite-difference method, were later developed.…”
