Extrusion Simulation and Texture Study on Mg-Y Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the influence of extrusion process on texture development of alloys, numerical simulation methods were used to simulate the round and shape extrusion process and deformation texture. Extrusion of Mg-Y magnesium alloy was carried out at the temperature of 673K with different ram speeds to verify the simulation results. Instead of using the Lagrangian FE method, the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method was employed in this study so that a more accurate description of the steady-state extrusion process can be achieved. By obtaining strain histories of specified material tracer particles, the coupling of deformation and crystal plasticity theory was applied to simulate the texture evolution in hot extrusion. The results showed that the texture simulation corresponded well with the experimental ones. The study proposes a method to analyze the steady-state extrusion process and texture evolution, and can be used as a useful tool in optimizing the extrusion process.
