VARIOUS POSSIBILITIES OF THE HOT EXTRUSION IN ALUMINUM CHIPS PROCESSING

Abstract

This article deals with the analysis and comparison of the conditions for solid state welding during extrusions by means of numerical simulation. Numerical simulations made on four different matrices, such as square die without integrated extrusion and equal channel angular pressing (iECAP), porthole die whit one and four square profile. Maximum volume and distribution of effective strain, strain rate and shear stress was analyzing. The results show that during cold molding of chips there is mutual deformations of chips, which are rearranged and mechanically crimped. In the first phase of pressing occurs complete elimination of porosity. The square die with iECAP was extrusion force is 30% higher than porthole die. Maximum effective strain was calculated for the porthole die whit four square profile.
