Innovative aluminium extrusion: increased productivity through simulation

该项目旨在开发新的方法，以提高澳大利亚铝型材行业的生产率和竞争力。该项目将使用定制的模拟软件来优化挤压模具的设计，从而大大减少开发新挤压模具的时间和成本。该公司打算以同样的方式优化高质量挤压的加工条件，进一步降低成本。预期的项目成果包括材料变形行为和损伤累积的基本模型，通过计算机模拟，这些模型将增加模具寿命并减少废品。

This project seeks to develop new approaches to increase the productivity and competitiveness of the Australian aluminium extrusion industry. The project will use customised simulation software to optimise the design of extrusion dies, thereby substantially reducing the time and cost of developing new extrusion dies. It intends to similarly optimise the processing conditions for high quality extrusion, further contributing to cost reduction. Anticipated project outcomes include fundamental models of material deformation behaviour and damage accumulation that, through computer simulation, will increase die life and reduce scrap.
