Abstract

FEM numerical analyses can be indicated as a common and basic tool used in the design of processes based on the plastic forming of metals. In such simulations, the accuracy of the results strongly depends on the quality of the material constitutive data used as the input. Good understanding of metals and their alloys’ deformation behavior, especially at hot working temperatures, is the key to developing or optimizing proper and economical processes. To provide reliable FEM simulation results, it is crucial to select an appropriate experimental method describing material behavior at elevated deformation temperatures. The most commonly method used for this is hot torsion tests, which can effectively provide a basis for developing constitutive models (for example, the Hensel–Spittel equation), but also produce the material constants needed to fully describe the behavior of the metal. This paper analyzes three experimental methods, compression testing, torsion testing, and spherical probe pressing, for determining material flow stress characteristics required for FEM simulations. The study focuses on the EN AW-7075 alloy, a high-strength aluminum alloy with limited hot workability. The methods were validated by comparing FEM predictions of extrusion force and profile temperature with results from industrial extrusion trials conducted on a 5 MN horizontal press.
