Simulation of Material Flow Coupled with Die Analysis in Complex Shape Extrusion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents recent studies in simulation of thin profile extrusion technology with the emphasis on interaction between the material flow and the state of the tooling set. To take into consideration die deflection and gradient of the temperature across the die and mandrel during the entire process cycle a transient coupled thermo-mechanical model has been built on the basis of QForm-Extrusion program. The paper explains the background for this model and some tests to verify its accuracy. Practical implementation of this model at several die making and extrusion companies has shown it to be of higher accuracy compared to the results of rigid die simulation.
