Oscillatory Residual Stresses in Steady Angular Channel Extrusion (2101.02584v1)

Published 7 Jan 2021 in cs.CE

Abstract: Angular channel extrusion has evolved as processes that can induce significant strengthening of the formed product through grain refinement. However, significant residual stresses are developed in the extruded product whose quantification is necessary for accurate process design and subsequent heat treatment. Experimental evaluation of residual stress provides the through thickness (normal) variation at chosen sampling points on the formed product and may provide inaccurate estimates if variations along the extrusion (longitudinal) directions are present. Process models can complement the experimental measurements and improve the estimates of residual stress distribution. While models of this process have been developed, very few of them have been applied to understand the variation of residual stress in the formed products. The present work aims to address this limitation by providing a complete map of residual stress distribution in angular extrusion process through numerical simulations. Interestingly, our simulations show that the angular channel extruded product can have significant longitudinal variation of residual stress depending on the extrusion ratio and strain hardening rate. Detailed analyses of the process reveals that these spatial oscillations occur due to cyclic movement of the contact location between the die and the top-billet surface in the exit channel. The outcome of this study suggests that accurate measurement technique of residual stress field in angular channel extruded products should consider the possibility of longitudinal variations. The findings can be extended to other continuous forming processes as well.
