Abstract

A yield function for hexagonal closed packed (hcp) metals was modified with respect to strain rate and temperature and developed to capture the material behaviour during extrusion. Magnesium alloy ZEK100 was extruded indirectly at 300°C into a round bar. Compression tests were carried out at various strain rates, temperatures and sample orientation to characterise the material flow. These data were used as input data for fully thermo-mechanical coupled simulations of indirect extrusion. A successful prediction of the extrusion force and the temperature increase during extrusion is presented.
