Journal of Materials Processing Technology 114 (2001) 185±188 Solution to the bulging problem in the open-die cold extrusion of a spline shaft and relevant photoplastic theoretical study Zhaohui Huanga,*, Peifu Fub aForging Division, Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials, Beijing 100095, PR China bDepartment of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University of Technology, Changchun 130025, PR China Received 21June 1999 Abstract Compared with other forming methods, the cold extrusion of a spline shaft has many advantages. However, the problem of bulging at the die entrance, which is not yet solved, resists the wide application of this net (or near net) shape technology. To solve the bulging problem, the method of adding a guiding length upon the die entrance in the die designing is put forward in this paper. On the basis of photoplastic experiments, a theoretical analysis model of the solution is found, and the calculating method for the guiding length is also submitted. The appropriate processing parameters are chosen based on the calculated results, and a satisfactory effect has been obtained in the actual processing. # 2001Elsevier Science B.V.

Introduction In recent years, net or near net shape technologies with their possibilities of producing parts with ready-to-built-in functional surfaces have become more and more interesting, even for the production of complex parts. The cold extrusion of a spline shaft has a greater potential than cutting, ˉat-die thread rolling and rolling, because of its many outstanding advantages such as the saving of raw materials, high pro- ductivity, superior product quality and low cost. However, the die design and the choice of the process parameters rely on empirical factors due to the lack of systematic analysis and so the billet usually bulges at the die entrance, which leads to the failure of extrusion in the actual process.
