An intelligent system for improving the process of hydromechanical extrusion

Abstract

An intelligent software system is developed for improving the process of hydromechanical extrusion enabling semi-fluid friction of the bar on the container walls and on the die mouth to be created, thus providing a favorable action of friction forces due to the fact that the velocity of the lubricant layer exceeds that of the bar. Herewith, extrusion pressure and the degree of strain inhomogeneity decrease significantly, and the bar-tool contact decreases, this being particularly relevant for metals adhering to the tool. © 2019 Author(s).
