Shear assisted processing and extrusion (ShAPE) is a solid-phase processing technique that adds an additional shear force as compared with a conventional extrusion approach. Recently, ShAPE has demonstrated the capability of extruding high-performance aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075) tubes at speeds up to 12.2 m/min without surface tearing. However, the relationship among the ShAPE processing parameters, thermomechanical conditions, contact conditions, heat generation, and microstructure evolution remains primarily empirical because an insightful understanding of the associated physics is still lacking. To help elucidate these relationships, this work proposes a thermomechanical meshfree model for the first time for ShAPE processing of AA7075 using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The meshfree model is first validated thoroughly by experimental data in terms of material flow, die face temperature, and extrusion force with various processing parameters. The validated model is then used to analyze the steady-state contact conditions and heat generation rates during ShAPE processing. Distributions of the average grain size of AA7075 being extruded are calculated using the SPH model output. The meshfree model results reveal that extrusions conducted at lower temperatures and higher strain rates yield more refined grains and possibly higher material strength, which is also consistent with the experimental observations. |
