Strain fields for aluminum at different tooling temperatures and extrusion ratios

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5896879

Strain distributions throughout the die region are obtained for axisymmetric extrusion of aluminum billets. Results which include the three extensional strains and accumulated shear are produced from an analysis of experimentally obtained laminar flow lines on extruded specimens. Extrusion experiments are performed at average tooling temperatures of 174/sup 0/C and 354/sup 0/C and for extrusion ratios from 1.9 to 12.4. Both tooling temperatures and extrusion ratios affect the magnitude and/or the distribution of plastic strains in extruded aluminum.
