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.

In the paper, extrusion process of hollow aluminum profile was simulated using DEFORM-3D; the metal flow velocity of setting baffle-blocks before and after is compared. Three kinds of welding chamber depth of 10 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm were used respectively for extrusion process simulation and got die load varying pattern. Also the strain field and temperature field were analyzed. The results show that the metal flow velocity was more well-distributed by setting A、B、C、D baffle-blocks. When the weld chamber depth is 13 mm, the die load is the smallest. By analyzing the strain field and temperature field,The results showed that the major cause of metal temperature rising in the extrusion process is deformation energy generating in the process of metal plastic deformation.

Since the appearance of the continuous extrusion process, the section shape of the feedstock is round. The shape of the feedstock directly affects metal deformation and metal flow characteristics during the continuous extrusion process. Based on finite element method (FEM), using the Deform-3D software, this paper simulates continuous extrusion forming process for copper bus bar, and analyzes the effect of different feedstock shape on metal flowing temperature, velocity, rotating torque. The results show that: the size of the rectangular feedstock must be within a reasonable range, otherwise the continuous extrusion process can not be established; the rectangular feedstock is benefit to the flow uniformity comparing with the round feedstock; the temperature of the billet and tooling with rectangular feedstock is lower than that with round feedstock, as the feedstock width increases, the temperature decreases and the area of high temperature becomes smaller; the change of the feedstock shape and size has no effect on the extrusion wheel torque value.

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.

The high nuts withstand increased load for expansion, facilitating its even distribution along the bolt length. The process of increased height nut blanks plastic deformation characterized by uneven metal flow and changing of stressed state by the blank section. In the process of closed-die stamping of such nuts a risk of their geometry distortion arises. Results of study of the process of production a hex nut of increased height presented. The object of the research was to study the process of the metal deformation when broach a hole for thread in a hexagonal nut blank of increased height. To simulate the stress-strain state, the QForm-3D software package was chosen, which made it possible to predict with sufficient accuracy the metal flow in the blank, calculate the deformation forces and determine the stresses that occur in the tool. The models of the blank and the tool were created in the Compass 3D program without internal and external defects. When performing the work, the parameters of the stress-strain state of a hexagonal nut blank of increased height were calculated. The simulation results showed the need to change the geometry of the end part of the punch to a conical one with an angle of 150 degrees and a reduction in the size of the baffle height from 10.4 mm to 5.4 mm. The adopted changes allowed to reduce the energy and power costs of forming a through hole for the threads. Industrial testing confirmed the correctness of the calculations. Nuts with edges perpendicular to its base and the required geometrical parameters were obtained.

During the precision forging process of this blade, the friction between dies and workpiece has important effects on metal flow, deformation defects, load and energy etc. So researching the effects of friction conditions on the forging process of blade with a damper platform has been a crucial problem urgent to be resolved. In this paper, the precision forging process of titanium alloy blade with a damper platform under different friction conditions has been simulated and analyzed based on the DEFORM-3D software platform.
