Effect of interfacial friction on wear behavior and microstructure during extrusion of Pure Nickel N6
Abstract This paper combines field extrusion and finite element simulation to study the influence of the friction state on the extrusion deformation of pure nickel. The use of lubricant reduces the shearing force of the billet-die interface, resulting in lower heat generation at the interface, greater forming stress and strain, and reduced uneven deformation of the billet. As a result, the surface quality of the workpiece is relatively good, but uneven lubrication is the main cause of tearing damage on the surface of the billet. The grain morphology, grain boundary distribution, and geometrically necessary dislocations distribution on the surface of the lubricating extruded bar are uniform, the microtexture strength is weak, and the Schmidt factor is large.
