Modelling and Analysis of Extrusion Die and Bolt Ejector Pin

Article Preview

Abstract:

The computer aided tools and recent developments of engineering, emphasizes the importance of bringing manufacturing process into early stage for product and process design. The implied significance is that it becomes vital to reduce cost of product by extensive use of CAD tools for product formation without actually building the product. In this paper, CAD tools are used to design an extrusion die for bolt ejector pin. In this paper, the extrusion die used to produce the pin is modeled using Pro-E, a CAD tool. Then, the die is analyzed for the maximum extrusion load condition using ANSYS software, a Finite Element Analysis simulation (FEA) tool. The simulation results are compared with yield stress of material. After the die has been designed, the pin was extruded using the die. In order to evaluate the strength of extruded pin, the pin was also modeled and analyzed using ANSYS tool where it was found to be safe for its maximum ejection load condition.Keywords: Extrusion die design, ejector pin, Computer aided modelling (CAD) , Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
