Abstract

Extrusion of magnesium billets is associated with large deformations, high strain rates and high temperatures, which results in computationally challenging problems in process simulation. A simulation was carried out using the finite element software ABAQUS. The computed model was rotational symmetric and built up by meshing. Computed parameters including material characteristics and process conditions (billet temperature. reduction ratio, and ram speed) were taken into consideration. The distributions of temperature were different comparing the transient-state extrusion with the steady-state extrusion. The extrusion simulation was the reliable predictions of strain rate, effective strains, effective stresses and metal flow velocity in an AZ31 billet during direct extrusion.
