Abstract :
With increasing requirement of functional 3D parts in automobile industry, sheet metal extrusion process has been widely used, but without enough know-how. In this paper, a reasonable FEM model of sheet metal extrusion process was established and validated by comparing the results of simulation and experiment firstly. Based on the reliable model, some characteristics about metal flow behavior and the corresponding forming force were analyzed and concluded. The work presented in this paper can be used as a theoretical foundation for the design of sheet metal extrusion process.
