In this paper, a systematic investigation of equal channel angular extrusion/Pressing (ECAE, ECAP) process on the AZ31 alloy and die design is performed by using numerical simulation. The stress distributions on the die were obtained, and general consideration of the die during the whole pressing process was given. The numerical results revealed that effective stress distribution at the corner of the cavity and the extruded load during extrusion processes was effect by channel angles and friction factor. From the simulations, it was found that the closer the die corner is, the higher stress value results can be acquired. And the effective stress concentration in ECAP die cavity corner. The extruding load fell rapidly when the angular angle increasing. With the increase of friction factor, extruding load also increased significantly. The proposed method can serve as preconditions to analyze the abrasion and fatigue of ECA Pressing die. Besides, this method also provides a feasible way for other die stress analysis.

Angular Extrusion

equal channel angular extrusion/Pressing (ECAE, ECAP) has the capability of producing ultra-fined grain (UFG) materials bellow the dimension of 1 μm. At present, it is one of the most important methods to get bulk UFG materials. In this paper, a systematic investigation of ECAP process on the pure Aluminum and die design is performed by using numerical simulation. The stress distributions on the die were obtained, and general consideration of the die during the whole pressing process was given. it was found that the closer the die corner is, the higher stress value results can be acquired. And the effective stress concentration in ECAP die cavity corner. The extruding load fell rapidly when the angular angle increasing.

Experimental Works

The paper presents the experimental results on an aluminum alloy and a silver alloy processed by equal channel angular extrusion in order to refine the grains. Two type of extrusion dies have been used for experimental works: one with fixed walls and the other one with movable walls in order to reduce the friction during extrusion process. The new concept of the die consists in simultaneously pressing of two samples in one entering channel with two opposite exit channels. The channel geometry, friction contact, strain rate, extrusion load and micro structure aspects are presented.

Simulation Results

The equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is one of the most important methods used for bulk metal forming. In which die angles are the most importent parameter. This paper attempts to determine the effect of different die angles during ECAE process for 6062 aluminum alloy deformation. Numerical simulations are performed for ECAE process on cylindrical billet of 6062 aluminum alloy at a constant frictional coefficient (μ) of 0.08 and punch speed of 15 mm/sec. Die has made with inner corner angles of (φ) =105°, 115°, 125°and 135° by fixing the outer corner angle (ψ) of 6°, punch is designed with a radii (R) of 4.75mm and height of 50mm. From the simulation results, tha data has been obtained in the form of load stroke behavior, and energy consumend during the punch stoke. It is observed that the maximum load and more energy consumption during the process is noted for lower angle.

Finite element simulation software Deform-3D on large-diameter multi-pass three-way pipe to simulate the extrusion process, the equivalent stress, equivalent strain and load were analyzed. The simulation results show that with the increase of processing pass, deformation process becomes complex, forming more difficult, the value of the state variables are increasing; in the extrusion process, the mold first contact with the billet and extruded convex hull area of the site, compared to other regions, plastic deformation, stress concentration and large, with the mold closed, the force to uniform .The results are well shown that it could provide a theoretical basis to the practical industrial production.
