Abstract
In the present work, a model is developed to study extrusion process of A356 alloy in semi-solid state. The distinct rheology of the semisolid alloy reduces energy necessity during extrusion process. Accordingly, a proper rheological model of the alloy is considered in the model towards a detailed study of the process. A combination of analytical and numerical solutions is considered for solving the governing equations. The work finally predicts distribution of velocity and shear stress of the alloy under shear in the considered domain. It also predicts the energy requirement during the extrusion process. It is demonstrated that for semisolid extrusion, reasonably less energy is required as compared to a conventional extrusion process Keywords: Extrusion, semi-solid alloy, apparent viscosity, extrusion power
