Aluminium extruded profiles are used for light weight structures used in architecture, transportation, aerospace, industrial sectors etc. Increasing use of profiles for applications has been driving extruiders to focus on reliable techniques to produce profile that meet consistent quality. In aluminium extrusion, profitability can be achieved by pushing maximum number of billets i.e maximum speed during production. However, in the shopfloor different aluminium alloys and geometries are limited by manufacturibility limitations which based on alloy properties and metal flow charcateritics. Hence, product quality is largely dependant on the closer control of metal flow charcateritics that can be compensated by right quality aluminium billet and die design paramaters. In this regard, numerical simulation studies have been adopted prior to production to ensure the consistent and reliable quality of profiles. In this technical communication, metal flow characteristics such as velocity, temperature and strain rate in an extrusion die were compared using numerical simulation studies for two alloys namely AA6063 and AA7075.
