RESUMO
Pure aluminum radiator is the best choice for heat dissipation of various LED products at present. Its forming methods include common extrusion, die casting, forging, etc. Compared with other forming technologies, the LED radiator formed by cold forging has good heat dissipation performance, but there are some disadvantages in the forming process, such as uneven deformation, large material consumption and low die life. The cold forging process of pure aluminum fin-typed LED radiator is analyzed by the finite element method. The calculation results show that equal fillet structure of concave die is improper, leading to serious uneven flow velocity distribution during aluminum forging, inconsistent fin length, and warpage tendency. The gradient fillet structure of concave die is adopted. Numerical simulation and production test show that the gradient fillet structure design can significantly reduce the uneven metal flow. The extruded fins have a uniform length, which is conducive to reducing subsequent machining and production cost.
RESUMO
High-temperature plastic flow of heat-resistant 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel was investigated by hot tension (at 500-650 °C) on a Gleeble 3800 machine. The strain rate of hot tension was set as 0.001-1 s-1. The constitutive relation of the steel was modeled by the introduction of the parameters termed "true activation energy" and "threshold stress". Then, the kinetics of high-temperature plastic flow was analyzed based on an Arrhenius equation modified by a "threshold stress". The stress exponent of the modified equation was equal to 5. True activation energy was estimated to be 132 kJ·mol-1. According to the slip band model, the basic mechanism behind the hot deformation of the steel was considered to be dislocation climbing, which was governed by grain boundary diffusion. This model proved to be successful in its analysis of the experimental results of hot tension tests.
