In the internal thread extrusion forming, if the process parameters are not selected properly, the extrusion torque will increase, the extrusion temperature will be too high, or even the tap will break. In order to obtain effective process parameters under certain working conditions, this paper uses a combination of numerical simulation and process experiment to analyze the influence of the bottom hole diameter, extrusion speed, and friction factor on the extrusion torque and extrusion temperature. Through an orthogonal experiment, the significant influence law of different process parameters on the extrusion torque and extrusion temperature was studied, and the order of their influence was determined. Based on the optimal process parameters, numerical simulations and process tests were carried out, and the extrusion effect and related parameters were compared and analyzed. The results show that the extruded thread has clear contour, uniform tooth pitch, complete tooth shape, and good flatness. Compared with before optimization, the maximum extrusion torque has been reduced by 37.15%, the maximum temperature has been reduced by 29.72%, and the extrusion quality has been improved. It shows that the optimized method and optimized process parameters have good engineering practicability.

Viscous heating has a substantial influence on the extrusion forming process and product quality of powder materials. This study selected the MUZL420 ring die pellet mill as the research object, from which a 3D flow physical model was established. The numerical simulation of 3D nonisothermal flow in the extrusion pelletizing process of granulated alfalfa was performed with POLYFLOW. The distribution laws of pressure, velocity, shear rate, viscosity, viscous heating and temperature in the flow field were revealed to thoroughly investigate the pelletizing process and provide a reference for structural optimization and process control. The results showed that two extrusion zones in the pelleting chamber were symmetrical with respect to the center, and the significant pressure gradient along the rotating direction of the ring die and the roller caused the material to flow back in the opposite direction. There were larger velocity gradients, shear rates and viscous heating levels in the deformation and compaction zone, the negative pressure zone behind the extrusion zone and the die holes. The distribution of viscosity was opposite to that of the shear rate. The temperature increase area caused by viscous heating gradually expanded from the material inlet to the bottom of the extrusion chamber along the [Formula: see text]-axis direction, and the temperature increased accordingly. The extrusion force and the forming temperature in the extrusion forming zone were captured in the numerical simulation. The extrusion forming density was calculated with the regression prediction model established through the simulation experiment of pelletizing with a ring die. Through a comparison with the results of mean alfalfa pellet density from the ring die pellet mill experiment, the relative error was less than 5%, which indicated that the numerical simulation method was reliable.

A universal joint fork is one of the key parts of the automotive and tractor drive shaft system, which needs high requirements in dimensional accuracy and product quality. In this study, the numerical simulation analysis of closed-die forging of the universal joint fork was carried out using the rigid-visco-plastic finite element model. In view of formation, heat transfer and heating generation coupled, the variation rules of forming load, stress field and strain field were obtained. The numerical simulation results show that good process parameters conditions can effectively control forming load, enhance metal flow and improve die life.

Internal Defects are more likely to occur when 1Cr18Ni9Ti pipe joint are produced by traditional casting method or welding forming method, while the upsetting extrusion proposed in this essay can not only meet the part quality requirements, but also save material and shorten processing cycle. By numerical simulation analysis about part upsetting extrusion forming process with the finite element analysis method, we can obtain many index numerical values in part forming process, and therefore provide reliable quantitative basis for optimum design.
