Analysis of Copper Welding Parameters during the Manufacture of Tubular Profiles Using Unconventional Extrusion Processes.

In recent years, there has been a lack of information in the literature regarding the extrusion and connection of closed profiles from oxygen-free copper in bridge dies. Available studies contain information on the processes of extrusion and connection of profiles from aluminium alloys and various types of steel. However, there is a lack of detailed data on the values of technological parameters for which copper is joined in the extrusion process.

Analysis of the Effect of the Elongation Operation on the Welding of Internal Metallurgical Discontinuities.

This article discusses the results of our research into the effect of elongation on the welding of internal metallurgical discontinuities for two different geometrical shapes of a model feedstock of a selected magnesium alloy. Model discontinuities, specifically those of the metallurgical void type, were placed in various local zones of the modelled feedstock to check the influence of their location on their welding. The numerical modelling was carried out using the ForgeNxT2.

Analysis of the Extrusion Process of Aluminium Alloy Profiles.

The paper presents an analysis of the results of numerical tests of the extrusion process of structural panels made of the 5xxx and 6xxx series aluminium alloys in a designed split die. The obtained products are intended for innovative superstructures of special car bodies. The main purpose of the research was the designed split die and numerical simulations and analysis of test results to determine the parameters of the extrusion process.

Modeling of the Closure of Metallurgical Defects in the Magnesium Alloy Die Forging Process.

The article discusses the impact of hot forging elongation operations on the closure of metallurgical discontinuities such as middle porosity in selected magnesium alloys (AZ91) depending on the shape of the input used. Numerical modeling was carried out using the ForgeNxT 2.1 program based on the finite element method and laboratory modeling in order to bring about the closure of defects of metallurgical origin in deformed forging ingots.

Investigation of the Influence of Open-Die Forging Parameters on the Flow Kinetics of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy.

This paper presents the results of numerical tests of the process of forging magnesium alloy ingots (AZ91) on a hydraulic press with the use of flat and proprietary shaped anvils. The analysis of the hydrostatic pressure distribution and the deformation intensity was carried out. It is one of the elements used for determining the assumptions for the technology of forging to obtain a semi-finished product from the AZ91 alloy with good strength properties.
