Abstract

In extrusion processing of disk shape aluminum alloy components, large extrusion forces are typically required to form flange, holes, and rib structures. This study is aimed to design an efficient extrusion process using a numerical simulation method. A finite element based model was established to simulate the extrusion process to form complex aluminum alloy disks. The flow velocity, stress, and extrusion temperature effects on extrusion were studied. The results show that potential damage occurs around the flange. Extrusion forces decrease with increasing temperature.
