In this paper, an optimum die fillet design for minimizing the maximum difference in extruded fin lengths of straight-fin heat sink extrusion is proposed. The fillets on the extrusion die openings are chosen as the optimizing parameters of the extrusion process first, and then the experimental desig

β¦ Synopsis
In this study, a design guideline for flow guides and dies is proposed for extrusion of complex cross-sectional shape products, such as CPU heat sinks. The plastic flow pattern of the billet inside the die cavity and the front-end shape of the extruded product are analyzed using a commercial finite element package "DEFORM 3D". The configuration and dimensions of the flow guide and die for obtaining a straight product without curvature are investigated. The stress and deflection distributions of the die fin in the lateral and extrusion directions in the early non-steady state stage of the extrusion process are also discussed. Furthermore, experiments of extrusion using A6061 as the specimen with two different flow guide designs are conducted. The experimentally obtained front-end shape of product is compared with the simulation results, from which the simulation results are validated.

This paper deals with the assignment of bearing lengths for the control of material ow in the at die hot extrusion. The design process makes the use of the three-dimensional non-steady analysis using the thermo-rigid-viscoplastic ΓΏnite element method that includes an automatic remeshing module. The
Non-steady-state-coupled three-dimensional analysis is required for investigating complex material ow in practical at-die hot extrusion processes of aluminum alloys in various channel sections. It is important since the material ow behavior actually determines the amount of distortion of the extrude
