This study designs and manufactures H13 die inserts with helicoidally conformal channels to extrude aluminum and magnesium alloys, validating the accuracy and reliability of the model using a combination of finite element modeling and experimental data.
The die cooling by means of liquid nitrogen is a widely adopted industrial practice used to increase the production rate in the hot extrusion process of light alloys. The development of a reliable numerical model able to simulate the cooling channel efficiency has become of primary interest for the extrusion sector in order to avoid ineffective die cooling and time-consuming trials and errors. In this work, H13 die inserts with a helicoidally conformal channel were designed and printed by means of the SLM additive technology. Billets of AA6063 aluminum and ZM21 magnesium alloys were extruded at different process speeds under monitored conditions to verify the insert resistance and the cooling effectiveness. A 3D finite element model of the extrusion process coupled with a 1D model of the cooling channel was generated within the COMSOL simulation environment. The experimental outputs were also used to validate the numerical predictions of the developed simulations. The FEM results showed a good matching with the loads and temperatures obtained in the experimental trials. Moreover, the endurance of the AM tool validated the prediction of the stress field, thus proving the reliability of the numerical model for the application in the extrusion of light alloys sector.
