The introduction of reinforcement in a Metal Matrix causes micro-stresses which may prove to be very detrimental for the life of the component. Submitting the components to annealing thermal treatments introduces thermal mismatch stresses. They are generated during cooling due to the difference between the thermal expansion coefficient of the two phases. Finite Element Analysis has been performed to study this effect and the results have been experimentally validated by X-ray diffraction, SEM investigation and EDAX on an AA2009 + 25% SiCp extruded shaft for helicopters, simplified as a thin extruded tube.

Background:: Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMCs) are widely used because of the higher specific strength, better dimensional stability, lower thermal expansion coefficient, better wear and corrosion resistance. However, the existence of reinforcing particles makes it hard to machine. The main manifestations are as follows: severe tool wear, easy generation of debris tumors in processing, and many defects on the machined surface, etc. These seriously limit its wider application. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has been widely applied in the research of PRMMCs machining according to recent patents, which can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of research. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a deep research for the processing technology of PRMMCs. Methods:: In this paper, the latest research progress of finite element simulation of cutting PRMMCs was summarized. The key technologies of finite element simulation, including constitutive model, geometric model, friction model between chip and tool, fracture criterion and mesh generation, are comprehensively analyzed and summarized. The application in the specific processing methods was discussed, such as turning, milling, grinding, ultrasonic vibration grinding and drilling. The existing problems and development direction of the simulation of PRMMCs cutting are also given. Besides, a lot of patents on finite element simulation for PRMMCs machining were studied. Results:: Finite element model for the actual composition determines the accuracy of finite element simulation. Through the secondary development of finite element software, a more realistic finite element model of Particle reinforced metal matrix composites can be established. Conclusion:: Finite Element Method (FEM) provides a new approach for the study of mechanism of Particle reinforced metal matrix composites machining. Quantitative analysis and prediction of micro- details in cutting can be realized.

Extending extrusion process of semisolid AA2017 alloy was achieved. Metal flow during the process was analyzed by the finite element simulation. It was shown that alloy flow velocity decreases gradually from the center part to the sides of the mould, sometimes a transitional turbulence region appears in the middle. A smaller declining angle θ and without step d is suggested in the design mould. Alloy flow velocity at the center of the forming region decreases linearly with increases of the extending ratio s1/s0.
