Abstract:

Deformation of the material during cyclic expansion extrusion (CEE) is investigated using upper-bound theorem. The analytical approximation of forming loads agrees very well with the FEM results for different amounts of chamber diameter, friction factor and also for lower die angles. However, the difference between analytical and numerical solution increases at higher die angles which are explained by the formation of dead-metal zones at these angles. The results show that the forming load increases at higher friction coefficients, higher chamber diameters and lower amounts of corner fillet radius, but for the die angle there is a maximum value of laod at about 60o. Forming load enhanced by the increase of the die chamber diameter and friction factor. Increasing the die chamber diameter causes to higher strains and, therefore, higher rate of homogenous work. The load decreased slightly by an increase of die corner radius because of the lower and more homogeneous strain distribution in the material.

Numerical investigation of strain distribution during cyclic expansion extrusion (CEE)

Strain distribution of Al 1100 was numerically investigated during cyclic expansion extrusion (CEE) process using finite element method (FEM). Die angle, corner fillet radius and die chamber diameter were considered as die parameters and friction factor and number of passes as process parameters. The effects of these parameters were investigated on the effective strain and strain homogeneity in...

Upper Bound Analysis of Tube Extrusion Process Through Rotating Conical Dies with Large Mandrel Radius

In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the tube extrusion process through rotating conical dies with large mandrel radius. The material under deformation in the die and inside the container is divided to four deformation zones. A velocity field for each deformation zone is developed to evaluate the internal powers and the powers dissipated on all frictional and velocity disco...

An Upper Bound Solution for Analysis of Twist Extrusion Process with Elliptical Die Cross-section

Twist extrusion process is a rather new route to produce highly strained materials. In this process, severe plastic deformation is applied by large shear strains. In current article, required energy for twist extrusion by use of admissible velocity field together with the upper bound technique is predicted. The proposed model is capable of considering the effect of various parameters such as di...

Experimental and Finite Element Analyses of the Hydrostatic Cyclic Expansion Extrusion (HCEE) Process with Back-Pressure

It is generally known that severe plastic deformation processes with back pressure not only apply higher hydrostatic stress and more deformation compared to what a regular process can apply to a workpiece but also prevent surface defects in the workpiece during the process. Hydrostatic cyclic expansion extrusion (HCEE) was developed recently for processing long ultrafine-grained metals and allo...

An Upper Bound Analysis of Sandwich Sheet Rolling Process

In this research, flat rolling process of bonded sandwich sheets is investigated by the method of upper bound. A kinematically admissible velocity field is developed for a single layer sheet and is extended into the rolling of the symmetrical sandwich sheets. The internal, shear and frictional power terms are derived and they are used in the upper bound model. Through the analysis, the rolling ...
