  ABSTRACT: It is aimed to investigate the efficiency of nitrogen gas cooling which is used in aluminium extrusion mold in this study. The exit temperature of extrusion profile increases depending on heat generated by friction and forming. This situation can cause to surface defects such as hot cracks and grain thickening after extrusion process. Cooling of the mold has a critical role in terms of dissipating heat close to the forming zone. Local internal cooling experiments were performed in the hot aluminium extrusion mold within the scope of this study. It has been obtained that exit temperature of the aluminium extrusion profile can be significantly reduced in experimental results. Also it was found that the reduction of press time (s) and increase of press speed (mm/s). This paper focuses the effect of nitrogen gas cooling on extrusion mold for process efficiency. The extrusion parameters were performed for comparative analysis. Its obtained that process ensures efficiency.
