Overview of the conference Al XXI/Extrusion and Extrusion Tooling
Topic: «Possible defects in aluminium profile extrusion. Methods of their prediction and elimination based on numerical simulation» Speaker: Ivan Kniazkin, Leading Engineer, QForm Group
Topic: «Quenching of extruded profiles. Assessment of warpage of the final product based on numerical simulation» Speaker: Andrei Shitikov, Leading Developer, QForm GroupOn June 3-4, 2021 in Moscow Russian Aluminium Extruders Alliance (RAEA) held the first post-covid event: Technical Seminars - Al-XXI/Extrusion and Extrusion Tooling.
More than 70 people from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Greece, Germany, France, Italy, Great Britain, Canada and Australia took part in the seminars.
Specialists of QForm Group showed presentations:
- Topic: «Possible defects in aluminium profile extrusion. Methods of their prediction and elimination based on numerical simulation»
Speaker: Ivan Kniazkin, Leading Engineer, QForm Group
Abstract: This work demonstrates the practical examples where QForm – the software for numerical simulation of profile extrusion processes is used in order to verify, predict and eliminate the most common defects appearing in industry and related to both: tool design and quality of extruded profiles. - Topic: «Quenching of extruded profiles. Assessment of warpage of the final product based on numerical simulation»
Speaker: Andrei Shitikov, Leading Developer, QForm Group
Abstract: New possibilities of QForm software in terms of spray cooling of extruded profiles at the exit table are discussed in this work. Dependence of profile distortion and its mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength on quenching conditions is demonstrated. - Topic: «Automated optimization of die tooling elements based on simulation»
Speaker: Ivan Kulakov, Engineer, QForm Group
Abstract: The work presents methods of optimization of die set by automated adjustment of bearing heights and prechamber shape in QForm Extrusion Die Designer based on the results of numerical simulation in QForm. Specifics of consequent, batch and combined optimization methods are demonstrated.
