碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 機械與機電工程學系研究所 === 100 === This study investigates analytically and experimentally extrusion processes of magnesium hollow tubes by a single-cylinder extrusion machine and double-cylinder extrusion machine. The first part of this study is to conduct analysis and experiment of hollow helical tube extrusion by single-cylinder extrusion machine. Firstly, a design criterion is proposed to determine the forming parameters and discuss the effects of product size, extrusion ratio, billet length, etc. on the mandrel surface stress. The effects of the die bearing part length, angle of rotation, extrusion speed, initial temperature, petal number, etc. on the radial filling ratio are also investigated. Better parameters are chosen from analytical results to conduct hot extrusion experiments for obtaining sound products. Microstructure observation and hardness test are conducted at the cross-section of the product. The experimental values of extrusion load and product’s dimensions are compared with the analytical values to verify the validity of the analytical models. The second part of this study is to conduct analysis and experiment of hollow tubes extrusion by a double-cylinder extrusion machine. The effects of extrusion ratio, billet length, mandrel diameter, etc. on the drawing force on the mandrel and critical conditions without mandrel fracture are discussed.
