In the paper, the Deform-3D software was used to simulate the mechanism of metal flow behaviour under the influence of different friction in the backward extrusion process, and further study its influence on die stress. The numerical simulation demonstrates that: smaller friction could reduce difficult deformation area of extrusion metal significantly; friction state not only affected the plastic deformation extent, but also would increase the consumption of extrusion energy; the unit pressure of punch and stress of inner wall increased along with the increase of friction, meanwhile, the ratio of them increased as well.

Magnesium is the lightest metal used for construction elements. Due to their lightness and good mechanical properties magnesium alloys have been used in aviation industry since 50’s of the last century. Magnesium – Lithium alloys are the lightest of all magnesium alloys. Their density can be lower than 1,0 g/cm3. In this paper the results of numerical simulation of direct extrusion of Mg-Li alloy hollow profile are presented. The alloy has 12% addition of Lithium and has been extruded through porthole dies.

This paper presents the numerical simulation of the Friction stir welding (FSW) process obtained by using the DEFORM 3D software package. Numerical simulations are based on experimental research, welding of aluminum alloy AA6082-T6 by FSW method, which has the thickness of 7.8 mm. The aim of this paper is to determine the reliability of numerical simulations in the FSW process, which is followed by large deformations, where influential geometric and kinematic parameters are varied. Numerical research was done on the basis of the adopted five-phase orthogonal experimental plan with a variety of factors on two levels and repetition at the central point of the plan for four times. The parameters varied in the experiment are: Welding speed v mm/min, a rotation speed of tool ω rpm, angle of pin slopes α o, a diameter of the pin d mm, diameter of the shoulder D mm. During the performing of the FSW process, forces were measured in three normal directions: Axial force Fz, longitudinal force Fx and side force Fy, as well as the temperature in the adopted measuring positions of the workpiece. The experimental results obtained in this way were compared with the numerical experiment in the same adopted measuring positions, i.e., in the paper an analysis and comparison of the obtained experimental and numerical data of the measured forces and the generated temperature field were made.

This paper presents a case study of optimizing the forming process for a fan-shaped shell component. Numerical simulation was used to study the backward extrusion process of a fan-shaped shell. The underfill defect produced at the opening of the extruded shell due to the billet shape was solved and the minimal base thickness required to avoid the presence of the underfill defect at the bottom corner of the component was defined through the numerical simulation. The extrusion drawing and forming process of the fan-shaped shell were designed on the basis of the results of the numerical simulation. Forming experiments had been performed on the fan-shaped shell at 380 °C and cracking was found on the outside wall in the center of the extruded shell. Choked groove on the inner wall of the die and reducing the lubrication had been used to avoid the presence of cracking. The fan-shaped shell of AZ31 magnesium alloy has been successfully formed by the three-stage forming process of hot upsetting, hot backward extrusion and cold sizing.

Twist extrusion is a severe plastic deformation in which the rectangular shaped work piece is extruded through a die with a twist channel. In this work the twist extrusion process of AA6082 T6 aluminum samples were carried out to investigate the effects of process parameters like temperature and deformation passes on the microstructure homogeneity. The results indicate that the grain refinement of AA 6082 T6 aluminum alloy leads to inhomogeneous microstructure after one twist extrusion pass. On further extrusion passes the inhomogeneity in the microstructure is found to be disappeared. The homogeneity of the distribution of the deformation was confirmed by micro hardness testing. Finite element modeling has been performed in DEFORM 3D software for determining the homogeneity of the effective strain distribution which agreed well with the experimental values.

Abstract To research the influences of process parameters on a special extrusion-shearmanufacture method for magnesium alloy rods, deform-3d software with finite elementsimulations has been used to analyze the material flows of deformed magnesium alloysAZ31B during the extrusion-shear (ES) process, as well as the grain sizes anddistribution of extrusion loads, stresses and strains, and blank temperatures. Temperaturefields, stress fields, strain fields and temperature fields varying with different blankpreheating temperatures, extrusion speed and extrusion ratios were simulated. Influences ofdifferent extrusion conditions and different die structures on microstructures of rods prepared by ES process has been researched. Extrusion forces decrease with the increasing extrusion temperatures, decreasing extrusion ratios, increasing die channel angles and decreasing friction coefficients. The flow velocities of metal in the ES die increase with development of ES process. Increasing the channel angles and reducing the friction factors would increase the outflow velocities of metal, but it has little effect on the uniformity of metal flow. The increase in friction and extrusion speed would increase the temperatures of the ES die. The ES process can prepare finer and more uniform microstructures than those prepared by direct extrusion under the same conditions.
