Experimental investigation and numerical simulation of plastic flow behavior during forward-backward-radial extrusion process

Finite element method was employed to investigate the effect of process parameters of plastic deformation behavior in Forward-Backward-Radial Extrusion (FBRE) process. The result of an axisymmetric model shows that the friction between die components and the sample has a substantial effect on the material flow behavior. Although strain heterogeneity index (SHI) slightly decreases with an increase in friction, large portion of the sample experiences significant strain heterogeneity. Increasing the friction factor also localizes the strain heterogeneity effect in the backward section, and spread the effect in the forward section. Decreasing the friction in the FBRE process can reduce the amount of the strain heterogeneity in the product while decreases the required punch force substantially. Furthermore, an increase in gap thickness increases the deformation in the area close to the lower punch at the expense of the area in the vicinity of the upper punch. The numerical simulation has a good agreement with the experimental results which confirms the accuracy of the proposed finite element model.

Processing of AM60 magnesium alloy by hydrostatic cyclic expansion extrusion at elevated temperature as a new severe plastic deformation method

Hydrostatic cyclic expansion extrusion(HCEE) process at elevated temperatures is proposed as a method for processing less deformable materials such as magnesium and for producing long ultrafine-grained rods. In the HCEE process at elevated temperatures, high-pressure molten linear low-density polyethylene(LLDPE) was used as a fluid to eliminate frictional forces. To study the capability of the process,AM60 magnesium rods were processed and the properties were investigated. The mechanical properties were found to improve significantly after the HCEE process. The yield and ultimate strengths increased from initial values of 138 and 221 MPa to 212 and 317 MPa, respectively.Moreover, the elongation was enhanced due to the refined grains and the existence of high hydrostatic pressure. Furthermore, the microhardness was increased from HV 55.0 to HV 72.5. The microstructural analysis revealed that ultrafine-grained structure could be produced by the HCEE process. Moreover, the size of the particles decreased, and these particles thoroughly scattered between the grains. Finite element analysis showed that the HCEE was independent of the length of the sample, which makes the process suitable for industrial applications.

公式法与数值模拟法在水源地保护区划分中的应用——以北方地区水源地为例

2007年颁布的《饮用水水源保护区划分技术规范》中,提出运用公式法和数值模拟法两种方法对地下水水源地保护区进行划分。本文以北方地区水源地为例,分别应用两种方法对水源地保护区进行划分。通过对比与分析看出,公式法简便易行,但具有较强的主观性,划分结果与实际地质条件脱离较大;数值模拟法能客观详细地刻画实际含水层的结构与水文地质条件,划分结果比较可靠,但应用复杂,概化时也会产生一定的误差。在实际应用中,应将公式法和数值模拟法结合起来加以应用。
