FEM Simulation of Copper Busbar Pressing on the Continuous Extrusion Line 'CONFORM'

摘要

Simulation using the DEFORM-3D package of the steady-state pressing mode of a copper busbar on the continuous extrusion line "Conform" was carried out. The nature of the metal flow in the deformation zone was studied. An analysis of the velocities of the metal flow in the prechamber was performed. It was shown that in the channel of the wheel there is pressing out, which negatively affects the quality of the finished busbars and can lead to such defects as "lamination".
