A die assembly has at least one core (7), a male die supporter (8) and at least one female member (5). The male die supporter is composed of an annular base (15), a core holder (16) and bridges (17) formed integral with the annular base and the core holder. Each core (7) is shrinkage-fitted in and integral with a cylindrical recess (21) formed in the core holder. The die assembly further has a die retaining mechanism such that the pressure of the material being extruded causes a latchable member to engage with a latching member. Each female member (5) is shrinkage-fitted in and integral with the annular base (15), so that the die assembly can produce hollow articles free from any unevenness in wall thickness, the abraded portion of this assembly can be renewed inexpensively, and the core is surely protected from slipping off.
