Key Parameter

The shape of welding chamber is a key parameter in flat porthole die extrusion process, which influences product quality and die life-span directly. In this paper, by means of numerical simulation of the extrusion process for an aluminum hollow profile, the effects of multi-step welding chamber on metal flow and die strength have been investigate. The numerical results revealed that the multi-step welding chamber was effective to balance metal flow in the die cavity. In addition, with an increasing step of welding chamber, the maximum stress and deflection of the lower die decreased, while the deflection of the mandrel kept almost unchanged and the maximum stress of upper die increased.

This paper describes a 3D-deform simulation of porthole die extrusion process for producing harmonica-shaped tubes used for a cooling system of automobiles. Designing the related structure of the porthole die and observing the simulation results, the study was designed to evaluate the welding effect when the length of bearing exit take different values.The mean pressure and exit velocity at the welding plane are analyzed at the same time. The welding effect is determined by the mean pressure at the welding plane .The behavior of metal flow in the container is analyzed in this paper. Through the above analysis, the best structure and size can be obtained in the process of deformation so as to obtain the better machanical properties.

The single stage porthole die extrusion was largely applied in our research and industrial production. Two stage porthole die for a hollow aluminum tube, which added a pre-porthole die in front of the conventional porthole die, could slow down the metal deformation rate and control the metal flow uniformity. We performed a simulation of hollow aluminum extrusion in single stage porthole die and two stage porthole die. Through a series of numerical simulation based on Forge software, the advantage of two-stage porthole die extrusion, such as the surface quality of extruded profile, extrusion force, welding quality and die stress, was studied. The results showed that the pressure of welding and required extrusion force decreased and the surface quality of the extruded profile would be improved. Thus, we could prolong the work life of mandrel root by the means of this method.

Porthole Die Extrusion

The conventional tube extrusion process has been substituted by porthole die extrusion due to relevant advantages in terms of productivity and quality. However, the porthole die has a complex geometry to be effectively designed; consequently, several studies can be found out in the technical literature based on experimental and finite element analyses of the process. From this point of view, while the experimental investigations entail cost and time increasing, due to the die building complexity, finite element techniques present some drawbacks such as the difficulty to simulate material joining and the loss of accuracy due to the heavy mesh distortion and related remeshing. Therefore, the introduction of new numerical techniques for the analyses of this process could have positive effects. In this paper, the Natural Element Method (NEM) together to the alpha shapes and some extra numerical procedures are used in the simulation of tube extrusion, focusing the attention on the simulation of the welding line in a fully 3D analysis. The obtained results are compared with the finite element and experimental ones, measuring the accuracy of the proposed methodology.

Porthole Die Extrusion

The evolution of charge weld during multi-hole porthole die extrusion was studied by means of finite element simulation and Taguchi’s design. Moreover, based on S/N analysis, the optimal process parameters that can reduce the charge weld length was obtained, where the billet diameter is 100 mm, extrusion speed is 2.0 mm/s, tool temperature is 430 °C and billet temperature is 465 °C. The accuracy and effectiveness of such optimal process parameters were also verified. The purpose of the present study is to provide some information about the controlling of charge weld for extrusion engineers.
