Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the influence of the maximum principal stress on Tungsten Carbide Steel die core in an extrusion die which caused the crack of die core, and then adjusts the dies assembly method in order to improve the service life of die. In this study, combining FEM simulation software with Taguchi Method L9(34) is to choose the cobalt content for die core materials, and the quantity of shrink fit while assembling the die core and die case as the reference parameters. When carrying out the simulation process, compared the changes of the maximum principal stress of the die core caused by the plastic deformation of die materials to achieve the minimum expected value as the goal be chosen the most optimal die combination. Then, the results obtained are to make dies in trial and mass-production practically; as a result, it can be achieved that the die life is improved from the original 1000pcs to 150000pcs, which is more 150 times better than before.
