This comprehensive book describes the full range of dies used for the extrusion of plastics and rubber and the developments and innovations in the field of extrusion and die design. Advice on the configuration of dies is given, and the possibilities and limitations of computer-aided design are demonstrated. This detailed, yet simplified approach provides daily support for plastics engineers and offers a solid foundation for those training in this field. Partial Contents: Properties of Polymeric Melts. Fundamental Equations for Simple Flows. Computations of Velocity and Temperature Distributions in Extrusion Dies. Monoextrusion Dies for Thermoplastics. Coextrusion Dies for Thermoplastics. Extrusion Dies for Elastomers. Heating of Extrusion Dies.

This review is from: Extrusion Dies for Plastics and Rubber 3E: 'Design and Engineering Computations (Hardcover)
This book helps explain a lot of the basics of how extrusion dies are optimized for superior cooling and flow performance. It gets into a good level of detail but is not written with too high a required knowledge going into the book. It is useful for any entry level engineer or tool designer in understanding more about the process. I purchased this as I work in the plastics industry and desired to get a more in depth mathematical understanding in order to solve some real extrusion problems, such as warping during cool.
The book starts with basics of material properties and how they interact with extrusion. It then goes into basic flow equations, not much more than you probably got in college, but then expands it to topics such as Melt Fracture. Then it goes into the CFD, or flow field, part when they talk about optimizing shape of the die to improve the velocity profile. The meat of this book is in its discussion of various die designs for monoextrusion and coextrusion of thermoplastics and elastomers. There is then a short 10 page section on heating of the die. The ending is on basics of calibration, operation, mechanical design, and maintaining of dies.
