The results indicate that there exist 4 deformation patterns in the multi-way loading forming process of cross valve, such as forward extrusion, backward extrusion, forward-lateral extrusion and backward-lateral extrusion; one or several patterns occur at different forming stages depending on loading path. In general, the main deformation pattern is forward extrusion or backward extrusion at the initial stage; the main deformation pattern is backward extrusion at the intermediate stage, and the backward extrusion and forward-lateral extrusion occur at the final stage. In order to improve the cavity fill and reduce the forming defects, the lateral extrusion deformation should be increased at the initial and intermediate stages, and the forward extrusion deformation at the final forging stage should be reduced or avoided. Key words: cross valve; multi-way loading; deformation behavior; metal flow; aluminum alloy; FEM; numerical simulation development during the forming process [6?8], and it is best suited for analyzing forming process, exploring forming characteristic, and optimizing processing parameters with low cost and short cycle [9?11]. Thus, numerical simulation method is also an important way to investigate the multi-way loading forming process.
