Abstract
Abstract A mandrel and mandrel-dummy block assembly for extrusion of tubing is disclosed wherein the mandrel has a shaft cross sectional area so related to the working section cross sectional area that the mandrel will stay in place without attachment to the dummy block. Such mandrel reduces the problems of mandrel necking down and breakage.

Total Claims: 26
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
In an extrusion machine, a dummy block-mandrel assembly which comprises: a. a dummy block having a socket concentric with the center of the dummy block cross section; and b. a pivotable mandrel placed in said socket, said mandrel having a working section and a shaft section wherein the shaft cross sectional area is about equal to A2S/P1 + A2 where A2 is the average cross sectional area of the working section, P1 is the maximum fluostatic pressure in the container of the extrusion machine, and S is the frictional stress on the working section during extrusion.
Claim 2
