FEM Analysis of the Skin Contamination Behavior in the Extrusion of a AA6082 Profile

In the extrusion of aluminum alloys, skin contamination lead to scraping profile extent in which this defect occurs. order optimize process, companies and die makers can either perform time-consuming expensive analyses experimentally determine evolution or rely on predictive methods. Recently, numerical methods, as Finite Elements, are increasingly used predict contamination, but their accuracy is still uncertain. work, an AA6082 industrial complexity analysed data collected validate innovative method for prediction developed using commercial FEM code Qform®. addition, results assess empirical formula often by operators.
