Indirect extrusion is also called back extrusion. A hollow ram carries the die, while the other end of the container is closed. Frequently for indirect extrusion, the ram containing the die is kept stationary and the container with the billet is caused to move.
There is no relative motion between the wall of the container and the billet in indirect extrusion, the frictional forces are lower and the power required for the extrusion is less as compared to direct extrusion.
But due to the hollow ram used in the process, it limits the load that can be applied.
