Author(s): K.K.Pathak, Jitendra Kumar,Mousam Sharma

In this study finite element analyses of rod extrusion process are carried out considering various processing parameters. The objective is to study the effect of these parameters on mechanical performance. Seventy seven cases are simulated and corresponding stress; plastic strain and load distribution are critically examined. Based on these results, salient conclusions are drawn which will help select parameters for quality and economical extrusions.
