Optimization of die geometry for Tube Channel Pressing

author

Abstract:

Since tubes have numerous industrial applications, different attempts are focused on the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes of tubes. As an illustration, Tube Channel Pressing (TCP) is an attractive process for this purpose since it can be used for processing of different sizes of tubes. However, more attempts are needed to improve the outcomes of TCP. For example, imposing of greater strain besides reductions of strain heterogeneity are the challenges of this process. This work is aimed to optimize the die geometry of TCP in order to increase imposed strain as well as to decrease strain heterogeneity through an FEM simulation method verified by experiment. Results show that the increase of die curvature radius causes decrease of imposed plastic strain and increase of strain heterogeneity. In addition, the minimum amount of die convex height for imposing of reasonable strain through TCP is calculated considering tube thickness and channel angle. Besides this, the optimum die geometry is recommended in order to minimize the strain heterogeneity.

New geometry for TCP: severe plastic deformation of tubes

Since tubes are widely used for different industrial applications, processing of tubes by the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) method has been the target of different attempts. Among these attempts, development of SPD processes for tubes based on Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) has been more successful. As an illustration, Tube Channel Pressing (TCP) has been presented as an attractive SP...

Equi-Channel Angular Pressing

Equal channel angular Pressing (ECAP) is an innovative technique for developing ultrafine-grained microstructures first developed by Segal et al in 1981 in the former Soviet Union. The ECAP method consists of two channels that intersect at an angle, generally comprised between 90◦ and 135◦ . The deformation is produced by shear as the billet is extruded through the channels. One of the geometri...
