Extrusion strains produced in cast and in powder aluminum billets

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5352679
A full-field solution for strains produced during axisymmetric extrusion may be obtained through a study of laminar flowlines which are produced as the material flows through the die. A flow function is mathematically constructed, using the flowlines, to determine the material flow rate along the given path. Velocities and strain-rates are determined along the flowlines. Flowline curves are determined experimentally from the stamped rectangular grid which was originally placed on an axial plane in a pre-extruded billet. For the powder metal billet, density values must also be determined experimentally. The method has been applied to the axisymmetric extrusion of cast and powder aluminum billets. Material deformation was studied for the powdered metal billet using the Scanning Electron Microscope.
