Extrusion Technology

DRECE - Dual Rolls Equal Channel Extrusion" (dual rolls pressure combined with equal channel extrusion) method is used for production of metallic materials with very fine grain size (hereinafter referred to as UFG structure - Ultrafine Grain Size). During the actual forming process the principle of severe plastic deformation is used. The device is composed of the following main parts: “Nord” type gearbox, electric motor with frequency speed converter, multi-plate clutch, feed roller and pressure rollers with regulation of thrust, and of the forming tool itself – made of Dievar steel type. Metallic strip with dimensions 58×2×1000 mm (width x thickness x length) is inserted into the device. During the forming process the main cylinder in synergy with the pressure roller extrude the material through the forming tool without any change of cross section of the strip. In this way a significant refinement of grain is achieved by severe plastic deformation. This method is used for various types of metallic materials, non-ferrous metals and their alloys. Forming process is based on extrusion technology with zero reduction of thickness of the sheet metal with the ultimate aim - achieving a high degree of deformation in the formed material. The DRECE device is also being verified from the viewpoint of achievement of a UFG structure in a blank of circular cross-section (wire) with diameter of ø 8 mm × 1000 mm (length).

Roll Forming Process

Cold roll forming is a process for plastic deformation, which allows realizing profiles, with a defined section and established length, from the plastic deformation of a metal sheet. The sheet is induced to cross several stands of rolls, arranged along the same axis of advancing. The rolls induce plastic deformation in the sheet and then lead it to the desired geometric configuration. In order to control the geometric parameters of the plate during the profiling, it was created a FEM model to simulate the final stage of the technological process, developed by an industrial production line of a company located in Naples (Italy), that sells tubes with several cross sections. In this phase, the semi-finished product, having a circular cross section, is forced to cross through four stands of rolls. In this way, it changes the geometric condition of the cross section from circular to square. The model was carried out using a non-linear calculation code, which allows analyzing the parameters of interest in the different process steps. The results, obtained numerically, were compared with the experimental ones through the measurement of five specimens, obtained directly from technological process. The values of percentage deviation, regarding the external dimension and the thickness, for each step of advancement, do not exceed the 3% of error. Then, the analysis results denote the capability to simulate the cold roll forming process using finite element method.

Deformation Processes

Severe plastic deformation processes have a great deal of importance because of the improvement in mechanical properties of the processed parts as a consequence of the grain size reduction in the material due to the accumulation of deformation. One of the main severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes is called the equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). Although a large amount of studies, which deal with experimental analysis of processed parts exist, few studies dealing with the force required to perform the process have been developed. In this study, an analytical modeling of the force required to perform the ECAE process has been developed using the upper bound method (UBM). The analytical equations developed take into account the material strain hardening and the ECAE dies with circular cross-section. Moreover, the experimental tests have been performed and the extrusion force has been measured. The UBM and experimental results have been compared showing a great deal of agreement.

Alloy 6061

Aluminum and its alloys are widely used as structural materials in aerospace, automotive and other industries due to low density and high specific strength. Efficient way to increase strength and other properties of aluminum alloys is to form an ultra fine grain structure using severe plastic deformation methods. Cryogenic asymmetric sheet rolling under liquid nitrogen temperature is a process of severe plastic deformation that can be used to improve the aluminum alloys structure and properties. Prediction of sheet temperature during plastic deformation is very important. The temperature of sheet is changed due to the conversion of mechanical work of deformation into heat through sliding on contact surfaces. This paper presents the results of the finite element simulation of heat transfer during cryogenic asymmetric sheet rolling of aluminum alloy 6061. The effect of thickness reduction, rolling velocity and friction coefficient on the deformation heating and temperature field of aluminum alloy 6061 was found. The results of investigation could be useful for the development of the optimal treatment process of aluminum alloys by cryogenic severe plastic deformation to obtain the ultra fine grain structure and high strength properties.

Increased Strength

Strengthening the engineering material through Severe Plastic Deformation and associated structural refinement is an established practice. Among the Severe Plastic Deformation process, Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) assumes a significant place. In this, it is possible to attain even ultra fine grain (UFG) structure through high deformation in bulk material working mode. However ECAPed material suffers lack of ductility, structural inhomogenity and even thermodynamically unstable structure, as evidenced in the published literature on ECAP of copper. The present study on ECAP of commercial purity copper aimed to attain a structure of higher hardness by shedding little ductility is deviated from the past work; in this, commercial quality copper is ECAPed at 3000 C with a die geometry channel angle of 1100 and corner angle of 200 necessitating less local/working stress. During certain number of passes (six passes), the material experiences higher hardness with fair amount of ductility. The material does not exhibit any further strengthening beyond six passes, which is possibly due to dislocations annihilation/recovery. The increased strength and loss of ductility of the material results in degrading the material when it undergoes tenth pass.
