工艺参数对车用行李架型材挤压成型质量和金属流动的影响

    Effect of Process Parameters on Extrusion Forming Quality and Metal Flow of Vehicle Luggage Rack Profile

    • 摘要: 对均匀化处理前后的铸态6063铝合金棒料进行微观形貌观察和EDS元素扫描,分析了元素偏析情况;通过单因素变量试验,利用有限元模拟软件HyperXtrude对车用行李架6063铝合金型材挤压分别进行稳态和瞬态模拟,探究不同工艺参数(棒料预热温度、挤压筒温度、模具温度)对挤压成型质量的影响;并对坯料表层金属的流动行为进行了分析。通过测定均匀化处理前后棒料表面和内部的元素分布,发现均匀化处理虽能有效缓解偏析,但无法完全消除。随着棒料预热温度和挤压筒温度的升高,挤压成型质量变差;而随着模具温度的升高,挤压成型质量得到改善。坯料表层金属在挤压过程中表现出两种流动模式:一部分沿边缘往挤压方向流动,另一部分则往挤压反方向流动并在挤压垫前方汇合。本研究为铝合金挤压行业的工艺优化和质量控制提供了重要的理论指导和实践参考。

       

      Abstract: Microscopic morphology observation and EDS element scanning were conducted on as-cast 6063 aluminum alloy bars before and after homogenization treatment, and the element segregation was analyzed. Through single-factor variable experiments, the steady-state and transient simulations of vehicle luggage rack 6063 profile during extrusion were conducted respectively using the finite element simulation software HyperXtrude to investigate the influence of different process parameters (bar preheating temperature, extrusion cylinder temperature, mold temperature) on the extrusion forming quality. And the flow behavior of the metal on the surface layer of the billet was analyzed. By measuring the element distribution on the surface and inside of the bar material before and after homogenization treatment, it is found that although homogenization treatment can effectively alleviate segregation, it cannot completely eliminate the segregation. As the preheating temperature of the bar material and the temperature of the extrusion cylinder increase, the quality of the extrusion molding deteriorates; however, as the temperature of the mold increases, the quality of the extrusion molding improves. The surface metal of the billet exhibits two flow patterns during the extrusion process: one part flows along the edge towards the extrusion direction, while the other part flows in the opposite direction to the extrusion and converges in front of the extrusion pad. This study provides important theoretical guidance and practical references for process optimization and quality control in the aluminum alloy extrusion industry.
