Within most employed processes of forming for series productions are extrusion processes. Die wear is one of the major disadvantages of this technological process, so that efforts are made to predict and mitigate its effect on the tool. In this research it simulates by the Finite Element Method, using the DEFORMTM-2D, the process of cold direct extrusion of aluminum alloys 6061-O in a die material AISI D2. It was analyzed geometric parameters of the die such as: the insidence angle, the extrusion ratio, the input radii, the bearing entrance length on the tool, and the friction coefficient; to determine the influence on the tool wear. The Archard's wear model is used to determine the wear intensity in the critical area of tool. The Plackett-Burman fractional factorial design is used to determine the main factors influencing the die wear standing out: the extrusion ratio, friction coefficient and the incidence angle as the main factors that affect the die wear and to a less extent the bearing entrance length at the entrance of the tool of the material and inputs radii. The principal factors have been related from a linear response surface.
