Extrusion of Sintered Porous Metal

소결 금속 의 압출 에 관한 연구

Forward extrusion of sintered porous metal through conical converging die is analyzed using slab method on the basis of plasticity theory for porous metal. It is taken into consideration in the analysis that the material in the container is continuously recompressed on densified until the process reaches steady state. Extrusion pressure and distribution of relative density from the die inlet to the outlet are calculated under various process variables. The results are useful in finding initial relative density of the billet, reduction of area and cone angle of the die in order to get required final products. Experiments are done for porous copper and then compared with the computed results.
