Process modeling of sequential radial-direct extrusion using curved triangular kinematic module
Abstract
In this article new engineering calculations such as the value of the relative strain pressure for the combination of a triangular kinematic module with external modules of various configurations are developed. This allowed us to describe qualitatively the nature of the metal flow in the reversal zone before radial extrusion. This made it possible to achieve a decrease in the predicted assessment of the power mode for the deformation process with comparison by the use of rectangular modules. The greatest reduction in the value of the relative strain pressure corresponded to a combination with an adjacent rectangular module (with the missing vertical component CPVF) and can obtain 7-8%. The deviation of the theoretical results in the power parameters of the process by using a triangular kinematic module are 12-15% for a process with a developed flow radial component. The resulting calculations can be used to model new cold extrusion processes.
