Changing market preferences regarding expectations in terms of the functionality, properties, and appearance of a finished product place excessive demands on manufacturers. The 6xxx-series alloys are the most commonly used in extrusion, and they have broad applications (e.g., the construction, electronics, automotive, and shipbuilding industries). The development of deformation technology at the design stage reaps unquestionable benefits when planning the production process. Under real conditions, the extrusion of hollow profiles requires the use of pocket dies, whose proper design is a complex process. This paper presents the results of preliminary numerical investigations of the extrusion process of structural panels from the 6005A aluminum alloy intended for the construction of transport car bodies. The influence of selected parameters of the extrusion process on the temperature distribution was analyzed in the material. The calculations were made using FEM for a three-dimensional deformation state, taking into account the thermal phenomena occurring during the applied deformation scheme in the extrusion process carried out in a flat die.Downloads
