7500T Dummy Block & Front Beam Support Ring for Aluminium Extrusion Press

Product Overview

The 7500T dummy block and front beam support ring are critical wear parts in large-tonnage aluminium extrusion presses (≥7,500 tons). Designed to work together seamlessly, the dummy block seals the billet container during extrusion, while the front beam support ring ensures precise alignment and stabilises the dummy block’s movement. Manufactured from premium H13 hot work tool steel and treated with vacuum heat treatment, our tooling delivers superior thermal fatigue resistance, high hardness (48‑52 HRC), and extended service life – helping extrusion plants reduce downtime and lower per‑ton production costs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Heavy‑Duty Construction for 7500T Presses
  Specifically engineered for large extrusion lines, this 7500T dummy block withstands extreme pressures and repeated thermal cycling without deformation or cracking.

• Precision Front Beam Support Ring
  The front beam support ring maintains perfect coaxial alignment between the dummy block and the container bore, preventing metal backflow and protecting the main ram and stem from damage.

• High‑Grade H13 Tool Steel
  Made from H13 hot work tool steel, our components offer excellent red hardness, wear resistance, and toughness – ideal for high‑temperature aluminium extrusion environments.

• Vacuum Heat Treatment (48‑52 HRC)
  A full vacuum heat treatment process eliminates oxidation and ensures uniform hardness distribution. The final hardness of 48‑52 HRC balances wear resistance against impact toughness, reducing premature failure.

• Custom Extrusion Tooling – Any Size
  We support custom extrusion tooling with adjustable diameters (60 – 1,000 mm) and thicknesses (0.6 – 1.8 mm) to match your press’s exact specifications.

• Computer‑Simulated Flow Analysis
  Every design is validated by computer‑simulated flow analysis to optimise metal flow, minimise scrap, and guarantee dimensional stability before production.

• Faster Delivery & Lower Total Cost
  Standard lead time of 15 working days. By improving sealing efficiency and reducing scrap rates, our dummy block and support ring directly help you extend die life and achieve lower operating costs.

Technical Specifications

How the Dummy Block & Front Beam Support Ring Work Together

During the extrusion cycle:

1. The dummy block pushes the billet into the container.

2. The front beam support ring guides the dummy block and keeps it centred.

3. A tight seal prevents aluminium flash from flowing backward into the press stem area.

4. After the stroke, the support ring helps retract the dummy block smoothly.

Without a high‑quality front beam support ring, the dummy block can tilt, causing uneven billet sealing, increased scrap, and premature wear to both the dummy block and the container liner.
