Canning extrusion is an effective way to refine grains, eliminate defects from hot isostatic pressing consolidation and enhance mechanical properties of P/M nickel-based superalloy. The present research constructed the optimized extrusion processing window for superalloy in consideration of extrusion speed, initial billet temperature, and extrusion ratio to provide guidelines for the choice of extrusion parameters. The processing window was built by integrating the results of finite element (FE) simulations, extrusion experiments, and deep neural network (DNN). The peak extrusion load and temperature under different extrusion parameters were collected as input datasets by FE simulations. The DNN was trained by optimizing the learning parameters and then predicting the load and temperature over various extrusion conditions. Finally, the extrusion processing window was established, including an optimized processing zone and two instability zones. The extrusion experiments were performed to verify the reliability of the processing window, which could be able to promote the extrusion production of nickel-based superalloys with high efficiency and quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
