Influence of Friction Factor on Extrusion Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Friction factor varies with respect to change in size of specimen. To identify suitable methodology for finding friction factor, extrusion process was selected. In this research work, three dies were used with diameter size reduction of 12:2, 8:4 and 4:2. Al6061/sic composite were produced by stir casting process. Specimens were extruded at 3000c and constant strain rate of 1 s-1. Friction values were obtained in three dies and size effect were studied. Extruded specimens, hardness, surface roughness and microstructures were compared with the machined specimens.
