Abstract

One of the most important purposes of the modern industry is a sustainable production, considering the minimization of the energy and of the raw materials used, together with the reduction of polluting emissions. In this context, Friction Stir Extrusion stands out, since it allows to obtain extrusions starting from metal scraps deriving from traditional mechanical machining processes (e.g., chips deriving from cutting operations), heated only by the friction generated between the scraps and the tool, so avoiding the material melting phase. Given the complexity of this new kind of process, the objective of this research is the study of the bonding conditions considering both the heat and the stresses generated during the process under different working parameters, namely tool rotational and descent speeds. As a result, the combined approach involving the Finite Element Analysis and the Piwnik and Plata criterion proves to be a valid tool for forecasting if bonding phenomenon occurs and how it is influenced by the process parameters. The results have also demonstrated that it is possible to achieve completely massive pieces between 500 rpm and 1200 rpm, but at different tool descent speeds. Specifically, up to 1.2 mm/s for 500 rpm and just over 2 mm/s for 1200 rpm.
