Abstract

A non-linear, three-dim finite element model of the extrusion process has been created by using QForm software to simulate an aluminum extrusion and investigate the impact of various parameters on the extrusion process outcomes. The model has been used to examine the effects of inputs such as ram speed, billet temperature, and tool temperature on outputs including effective stress, tool and workpiece temperature, contact pressure, and power consumption. Additionally, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been developed to depict accurately the relationship between inputs and outputs of the extrusion process. The results have showed that the effective stress is highly affected by the temperature of both the workpiece and the tool, while the ram speed has a high impact on the tool temperature during the extrusion as well as on the contact pressure. This will lead to an increase in power consumption during the process and accelerate the wear on the dies.

基于有限元和人工智能的铝挤压过程仿真与优化

利用QForm软件对铝型材的挤压过程进行了模拟，建立了挤压过程的非线性三模糊有限元模型，研究了各种参数对挤压过程结果的影响。该模型已被用于检查输入的影响，如滑枕速度，钢坯温度和工具温度对输出的影响，包括有效应力，工具和工件温度，接触压力和功耗。此外，还建立了一个人工神经网络(ANN)模型来准确地描述挤出过程的输入和输出之间的关系。结果表明:有效应力受工件温度和刀具温度的影响较大，而滑块速度对挤压过程中刀具温度和接触压力的影响较大。这将导致过程中功率消耗的增加，并加速模具的磨损。
