| Abstract Scope |
As a kind of extrusion process, the Forward-Backward-Radial Extrusion (FBRE) process can be used to produce complex shaped parts with hoop protrusions or flanges. The control of metal flow is the key to affect forming, strain distribution and forming load of parts during FBRE process. On the basis of summarizing research of FBRE process, this paper presents the numerical and experimental results of aluminum alloy hub production using this method. Material flow behavior, strain distribution and strain heterogeneity within the final product was investigated by finite element methods. The parameters such as billet size, die corner radius and friction conditions are optimized and determined to control the material flow in different regions. While the uniformity of extrusion deformation is greatly improved, the extrusion forming load is reduced, and the aluminum alloy hub was manufactured by FBRE process. The comparison between the theoretical and the experimental results show good agreement. |
