Abstract
In this paper, the optimization of effective parameters on the process of severe plastic extrusion deformation in the torsional angular channels of the plate is investigated. Initially, the process test was designed using the response procedure method, and four main and influential input variables on the process, torsion angle, radius, channel angle, and coefficient of friction, were extracted, and the regression equations of each for the mechanical properties of the samples produced by this method. Using sensitivity analysis, which is very useful in the production of parts and industry today, and by using it, the quality of manufactured parts can be greatly improved and production costs can be reduced to a large extent, the effect of input variables on plastic strain Parts checked. In this paper, the mean and maximum strain and maximum force, which are defined under the influence of these input variables, have been investigated and analyzed using the e-Fast statistical sensitivity analysis method. The results of the analysis show that the mean strain is affected only by the values of torsional and channel angles, but the maximum strain is affected by the coefficient of friction and has a direct linear relationship with its changes. The maximum force is also in a balanced state from the effect of the variables. Also, the quantitative effect of torsion angle of 52% and channel angle of 48% on mean strain and coefficient of friction with 86% and torsion angle with 42% had the greatest effect on the strain and maximum force.
