An Investigation on the Deformation Heating in Billet and Die During Equal-Channel Angular Pressing and High-Pressure Torsion

This work aims to investigate the temperature rise in Aluminum alloy 6061 due to deformation heating in equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and high-pressure torsion (HPT) processes using finite element method. The roles of various parameters are investigated and the heating of ECAP die due to billet deformation is included in the simulations. The results show that while the work-piece moves in the exit channel, the generated heat is transferred to die via conduction and therefore the temperature isosurfaces in die are extended in the direction of inlet and exit channels. The dependency of m...
