Summary:In order to improve the service life of extrusion dies with long cantilever structure, a design scheme of porthole die for half-hollow profiles with long cantilever was introduced. Using numerical simulation method, compared with conventional method for the half-hollow porthole design method of a typical profile die model, the equilibrium of the material flow at the outlet, the stress and deformation of the die were analyzed in detail. With selection of the cantilever thickness shrinkage as the objective function, experiment was done to verify the result of simulating analysis. The results indicated that there was only little difference for the equilibrium of material flow between the two design schemes, but the stress load and deformation of the design scheme were greatly improved.
