The casting magnesium alloy AZ91D cannot be extruded at room temperature. This paper presents a process for extruding internal threads using AZ91D heated by electromagnetic induction. The feasibility of the process is verified by finite element simulation and experiments. Using DEFORM-3D to simulate the process of extruding a M12 × 1.25 mm threaded hole by electromagnetic induction-assisted heating, the equivalent stress-strain and material flow law in the process of thread deformation was analyzed and verified by experiments. Three parameters-hole diameter, machine speed and heating temperature-were considered to study the influence of different process conditions on the forming torque. The results show that a heating temperature above 523 K can improve the plasticity of AZ91D. The hole diameter has an important influence on the forming torque. The forming process is not suitable for high-speed machining. The surface metal of the thread formed by this process has a strong deformation layer, which can improve the strength and hardness of the thread.
铸造镁合金AZ91D在室温下无法进行挤压。本文提出了一种利用电磁感应加热的AZ91D来挤压内螺纹的工艺。该工艺的可行性通过有限元模拟和实验得到了验证。利用DEFORM-3D模拟电磁感应辅助加热挤压M12×1.25 mm螺纹孔的过程,分析了螺纹变形过程中的等效应力应变和材料流动规律,并通过实验进行了验证。考虑了孔径、机床速度和加热温度三个参数,研究了不同工艺条件对成形扭矩的影响。结果表明,加热温度高于523 K可提高AZ91D的塑性。孔径对成形扭矩有重要影响。该成形工艺不适用于高速加工。通过该工艺形成的螺纹表面金属具有较强的变形层,可提高螺纹的强度和硬度。
