We proposed a relationship model between the exit velocity distribution and the shape of the extrusion profile. To verify the model, we designed multiple-extrusion ram differential extrusion and used the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method to simulate the natural bending deformation of the sheet metal. The die experimental test used a self-bending extrusion die for sheet metal was designed via a spline curve with inclination as the contour of the deflector chamber. The results showed that the standard arc profile was extruded when the exit velocity was linear, and the relative error between the predicted radius of curvature and the ALE simulation result was controlled within 5%. The relative error between the predicted value and the actual experimental result was 9.9%. Thus, this study can provide a reference for the design of self-bending extrusion dies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
