Abstract:The structure of the wide-format thin-walled hollow profile of the large size was optimized by the DEFORM-3D numerical simulation software, and the extrusion process of the profile was optimized by HyperXtrude numerical simulation software. After the optimization of profile structure, the phenomenon of uneven velocity distribution was obviously improved, and the problem of insufficient filling and twisting curl was avoided, and a preferred process with a certain forming speed and minimum average velocity variance was determined. A bright and straight large-size wide-walled hollow magnesium alloy profile was successfully prepared, the profile cross-section size was 502 mm×60 mm, which was currently the world’s largest wide-walled thin-walled hollow magnesium alloy profile. The microstructures observation and mechanical performance testing were carried out on the regions of the profile, the regional tissues are uniform lyson, the average grain size is about 10-30 μm, the tensile strength is above 250 MPa, and the elongation is more than 15%.
