Abstract

The geometric shape of the tools is the main factor by which an optimum technological process can be developed. In the case of extrusion process the strain distribution and other important variables that influence material structure, such as hydrostatic stress, are strongly dependent on the geometry of the die. Careful design of the extrusion die profile can therefore control the product structure and can be used to minimise the amount of inhomogeneity imparted into the product. A possibility to minimise the amount of product inhomogeneity is the using of a flat die with a fillet radius in front to the bearing surface with leads to a minimum dead zone and consequently to a minimum friction at billet-container interface. In the case of aluminium alloy type 2024, for an extrusion ratio of R=8.5, good results were obtained with a fillet radius of 3.0 mm. The experimental data have been used for the finite element numerical simulation of the extrusion process. The data obtained by numerical simulation with FORGE2 programme confirm the theoretical and experimental outcomes. The aim of this paper is to study the influence of such flat die on the material flow during direct extrusion process and consequently on extruded product microstructure and mechanical properties.
