However, when trying to bend the above-mentioned extruded material, especially in the case of an extruded material made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, even if the above-mentioned bending is carried out by inserting a core, it is difficult to bend at the time of working. There is a problem that the tensile stress and the compressive stress applied cause the ribs 2 to be wrinkled or the face plate 1 near the T-shaped intersection 3 to be easily cracked. For this reason, in setting the dimensions of the above-described extrusion die, conventionally, a shape that can be bent is selected according to the know-how of a processing maker, or an extrusion die having a plurality of dimensions and shapes is prepared in advance, and these are actually used by using these. The shape is set by performing a bending test, and there is a problem that it takes a lot of time to set these shapes and set conditions such as bending.

According to the extrusion member of the first aspect, the maximum stress at the T-shaped intersection is reduced, and the bending workability is improved. This will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 shows the maximum stress generated at the T-shaped intersection at that time by changing the thickness t 1 of the face plate and the thickness t 2 of the rib. . In FIG. 2, the maximum stress is small when t 1 / t 2 is 1.1 or more, and the maximum stress is sharply increased when t 1 / t 2 is less than 1.1.

Therefore, when the ratio t 1 / t 2 is set to 1.1 or more, the ribs are elongated with respect to the high strength of the face plate during bending, so that the wrinkles of the ribs are reduced and the cracks of the face plate are also reduced. . As a result, the bending workability of the extruded mold material is improved, and occurrence of defective products can be suppressed.

Further, in the extrusion member according to the second aspect, the maximum stress at the T-shaped intersection is further reduced. That is, FIG. 3 shows the maximum stress value when the value of the corner radius R is changed under the condition of the above equation (1). From the figure, it can be seen that the corner radius R is different from the face plate thickness t 1. When it is in the above range, the maximum stress value becomes smaller. Therefore, by setting the extruded die according to the first aspect as described in the second aspect, a crack is not generated at the T-shaped intersection of the face plate.
