Study on Hot Extrusion Processes of Magnesium Alloy Tubes and Sheets

This study involves analyses and experiments of magnesium¡¦s hot extrusion of thin sheets and tubes. At first, hot compression tests are conducted to obtain the magnesium¡¦s plastic flow stresses in high tempearatures, which will be used in the finite element analysis. In the FE simulations of thin sheet extrusion, the flow pattern of the magnesium billet within the die, the temperature history at die exit and the elastic deformation of the die is analyzed. Sound and good thin sheets are obtained by appropriate die design, initial billet temperature and extrusion velocity¡¦s control. The goal of constant temperature extrusion is expected to achieved by controlling the extrusion velocity which will influences the billet temperature at die exit. In FE simulations of thin tube extrusion, the flow pattern of the magnesium billet within the port-holes, welding chamber and die bearing is analyzed. The elastic deformation of the die is dicussed. Extrusion of sound thin tubes is achieved by appropriate extrusion conditions. Finally, hot extrusion experiments are conducted and the experimental values of the extrusion load and dimensions of the products are compared with the analytical values to verify the validity of the analytical models.
