Design the wheel mold according to the cross-sectional view of the lightweight aluminum alloy wheel profile, determine the length of its working belt and use HyperXtrude software to simulate it, verify the rationality of the working belt design, analyze the flow velocity and temperature of the mold outlet, and determine the 7075 aluminum alloy The alloy wheel profile is most reasonable to be produced on a 10 MN extruder. Finally, the optimized working belt length is used for production. The quality of hot extrusion profile is qualified, which proves the accuracy of the simulation.
