Role of the scaling factor in the process of SHS extrusion based on the example of a TiC + Co system

详细

The effect of the scaling factor (the influence of the height and diameter of the initial cylindrical billet) on the temperature distribution in a material and on the completeness of the extrusion of long samples obtained the method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) extrusion has been theoretically studied. A numerical analysis has been carried out based on the mathematical simulation of the thermal conditions of the SHS extrusion process. It has been shown that the change in the scaling factor significantly affects the length and quality of extruded rods due to the uniformity of the temperature field. It has been found that there is a limiting value for the diameter of the initial billet above which material is hardly squeezed out of the camera.
