Popis: This paper present a study focused on hot forward extrusion by upper bound method. In particular, hot forward extrusion of plates through square face dies under plane strain conditions. Slater defines the models used for large fractional reduction. Different models have been taken in account; they are dissimilar in relation to the dead metal zone (if covers or not the entire die face, partially or totally). Triangular rigid patterns of velocity discontinuities have been validated by analytical methods and a range of use for the selected configurations has been established. This methodology has been applied to other process with good results. Thus, the mechanical parameters analysed are fractional reduction, dead metal zone, length die and friction. Finally the calculation of the energy has been achieved by upper bound method. The results allow researching an optimisation of use of upper bound method in hot forward extrusion.
