Modeling and Simulation for Aluminium Profile Extrusion
2018
Abstract Global aluminium consumption in the last decade followed by an overview of deformation theory and extrusion process basics are presented in the Introduction of this paper. The components of the extrusion press with additional equipment and integrated systems are presented in the next chapter of this work. The extrusion die design is described in detail, from the designing to the manufacturing process of the extrusion die. This is followed by an introduction to the theory of the finite element method and numerical analysis. The extrusion process simulation represents the final part of this work; in this work, the “L” profile, manufactured by the German company “HUECK GmbH”, with the profile number P447937 is used for the simulation. The extrusion is simulated in the COMSOL software. Following the end of the simulation process, referent measurements like billet temperature, extrusion velocity, isothermal exchange of extrusion and deformation are presented. The simulation results are used to help in predicting die damage, so it could be eliminated and corrections could be made at the right time. In this way, it is possible to save time and money.
