Abstract

This research considering constant shear friction is to explore the rotating extrusion of thin-walled round tube based on FEM simulation and slab method, and compares the results of both models to realize the variations and acceptance. The effective stress, the effective strain, the velocity field, the average thickness, the extrusion force, and the extrusion torque can be obtained from this study. It reveals the average thickness obtained from rotating extrusion is more uniform than that obtained from no rotating extrusion. The FEM optimization for extrusion force can be combined with Taguchi method, the L934 orthogonal table considers the four control factors which are outer diameter to thickness ratio, frictional factor, rotating angular velocity, half die angle, and three levels. The ranking of influence factors and the optimization combination can be obtained from FEM simulation optimization. Eventually the extrusion force between FEM simulation and slab method is compared under rotating angular velocity, 0.2 rad/s, the maximum error is 10.49 % and the minimum error is -0.29%; the average error is 4.16%, so the trend is in good agreement each other. Therefore, the both models can be verified.
