Stress-strain state of combined backwardradial extrusion process of can-flanged part

Abstract

Application of computer based techniques has led to significant changes in the metal forming industry, which we are witnessing every day. Process simulation enables not only simplification and acceleration of the process and tool design, but also provides process improvement and development of new procedures, better material utilization, increase in quality of final part together with reduction of total manufacturing costs, etc. FEM software ABAQUS is a powerful engineering tool which is widely used for solving different types of problems - both linear and nonlinear. In this paper, the process of combined extrusion of a part for car industry was analyzed using ABAQUS. The analyzed process consists of two stages: backward extrusion and radial extrusion.
