    INFLUENCE OF STRAIN ACCUMULATION ON MICROSTRUCTURE OF ALUMINUM 1100 IN THE TWIST EXTRUSION

    Nowadays, Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) methods are at the focus of material researchers and among these methods, Twist Extrusion (TE) is one of promising ones to pave the way of commercialization. In this Investigation the magnitude of strain distribution along 4 selected paths of sample after 3 passes of Twist Extrusion were investigated by computer simulation and its influence on aluminum 1100 microstructure by experimental tests. ABAQUS 6.5 software based on FEM was applied for the former and 70 mm length samples with cross-section of 18*28 mm were exploited for the latter. According to the simulation results, corner, middle of small side, middle of long side and center of the cross-section are placed from maximum to minimum magnitude of strain respectively. Theses achievements were verified with metallographic images in aspect of metal flow and grain size as well.
