Aluminium Bow
tjsahara00:
Looks like we're getting into the Bow business now.
Gonna be extruding a aluminum bow for a company
called Black Eagle Arrows made locally. The part is
right at 28'' wide.
The extrusion die is 42'' od by 8'' wide and weighs 2,651 lbs
bjeep:
That is interesting. How big is the material you start with?
tjsahara00:
Here is the dimension we have to meet.
No telling how much will be machined off.
It's 37.475 lbs per foot. The 2'' sample I
have is around 6lbs.

Looks like there will be a lot of machine work that goes on after the extrusions are cut. I’m sure this is going to be a fun one to extrude and meet all the dims with all the long, skinny sections.

Yes we came in a little small on the wall thickness. Gonna have to work the die to get it in tolerance.
