Mandrel for high pressure tube extrusion press

摘要

Disclosed is a mandrel for a high pressure tube extrusion press. The mandrel comprises a tip member providing a tip adapted to be positioned in the die opening of the press to present an annular gap for tube extrusion, and a carrier for the tip member. The carrier has a threaded central tip member receiving bore for threadably receiving a threaded segment of the tip member therein. A divided ring shaped element is disposed between a flange on the tip member and the carrier in an annular space provided at the mouth of the bore to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the mandrel and prevent inadvertent separation of the tip member from the carrier.
