Rigid-Plastic Finite Element Analysis of Axisymmetric Forward Extrusion

강소성 유한요소법 을 이용한 축대칭 전방 압출 해석

The axisymmetric forward extrusion is analyzed by using the rigid-plastic finite element formulation. The distribution of stresses and strains as well as the deformation pattern in solid extrusion is very important for the improvement of product quality. The initial velocity field is determined by assuming the material as a Newtonian fluid through an arbitrarily shaped axisymmetric die. The workhardening effect and the friction of the die-material interface are considered in the formulation. Some reduction of area and die shapes(conical and biquadratic-curved) are chosen for computation. Experiments are carried out for steel alloy(SCM4) specimens using conical and curved dies. It is found that experimental observation is in good agreement with FEM results. The strain distribution is curved(biquadratic) dies is shown to be more uniform than in conical dies at the same reduction of area.

본 논문에서는 금형의 형상과 단면 감소율등이 이에 미치는 영향을 조사하였 다. 이론과의 비교를 위해서 풀림처리된 특수강 소재인 SCM4로 실험을 행하였다. 압출하중은 로드셀(loadcell)로 측정하였으며 수치계산에서 구해진 속도장과 실제속도 장의 차이를 살펴보기 위해서 시편단면에 포토에칭(photoetching)한 압출시킬 시편의 그리드변형을 강소성유한요소법으로 계산한 그리드패턴과 비교 검토하였다.
