Abstract:

This research presents a numerical study on the Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) process using AA6061 aluminum alloy, employing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with ABAQUS/Explicit software. The primary objective is to simulate the deformation behavior of AA6061 under different die angles (60°, 90°, and 120°) and evaluate the simulation results by comparing them to experimental findings. The study focuses on stress distribution, plastic strain, and deformation patterns during the ECAP process to identify the optimal processing conditions. The results provide insights into the effects of die angle on the material's deformation behavior and mechanical properties, offering a foundation for optimizing the ECAP process for AA6061.
