Abstract: | In this article, a FEM investigation has been carried out to analyze the backward extrusion of aluminum tubes which have internally
and externally shaped sections. ABAQUS/Explicit finite element method was used to solve the problem. As a result, the distribution
of stress, strain, and spatial velocity in the deformation region were obtained. Grid deformation patterns were also studied
using the FE simulation to observe the material flow during the process. Initial billets with various cross sections such
as rectangular, elliptical, hexagonal, octagonal, and square shapes were utilized in the simulations. Also various shaped
punches such as circular and elliptical sections were employed for this analysis. In this article, the influence of the process
parameters such as friction factor and reduction in area on the extrusion pressure was studied. The effects of reduction of
area and friction factor on the configuration of free surface and velocity field have been investigated too. The results obtained
from the present study were compared with analytical and experimental works and acceptable agreements were observed. |
