The specifics of tool making companies are that one can state if a tool is adequate
only after it had already been made. The irregularities that have been
found, lead to repairs of the already existing tool or even to making a new tool,
which causes extensions of order delivery terms and additional expenses. This
deficiency should be eliminated or at least reduced by introduction of computer
simulations into the tool constructions for extrusion process. A new
optimizing circle in the construction section is presented in this article. A comparison
between old and new construction process is shown schematically.
The applied value of simulations is shown on a practical example – based on
the calculated results we optimized the shape of the tool for extrusion. It is
proved that simulation results are comparable to experimental results.
