Numerical simulations of the extrusion process assisted by die cyclic oscillations (KOBO extrusion) is presented in this paper. This is highly non-linear coupled thermo-mechanical problem. The elastic-viscoplastic Bodner–Partom-Partom material model, assuming plastic and viscoplastic effects in a wide range of strain rates and temperatures, has been applied. In order to perform simulations, the user material procedure for B–P material has been written and implemented in the commercial FEM software. The coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian method has been used in numerical computations. In CEL method, explicit integration of the constitutive equations is required and remeshing is not necessary even for large displacements and large strains analyses. The results of numerical simulations show the heterogeneous distribution of stress and strain inside container and the non-uniform distribution of strain in the extruded material. The increase of material temperature has been noted. The results obtained (stress, temperature, location of plastic zones) qualitatively confirm the results of experimental investigations. The application of the user material procedure allows accessing all material state variables (current yield stress, hardening parameters, etc.), and therefore it gives detailed information about phenomena occurring in extruded material inside recipient. This information is useful for a proper selection of parameters of the KOBO extrusion process e.g. synchronization of the punch displacement with the die oscillations frequency to avoid the saturation of material isotropic hardening, which blocks the progress of extrusion.

The paper presents a review of the literature and authors’ research on the current achievements in the field of extrusion of aluminium alloys, magnesium alloys, powders and aluminium-based composites in particular. The microstructure transformations taking place during homogenisation of billets from the medium- and high-strength heat-treatable aluminium alloys are still an object of interest of researchers. The recently published papers are related to dissolution of soluble phases formed during solidification and elimination of microsegregation, precipitation of the dispersoids, insoluble phases’ transformation as well as particles re-precipitation during cooling. The novelties in the extrusion of magnesium alloys and aluminium-based composites are shortly reported. Specifics of the extrusion dies design and their working conditions, which limit the products quality and working life of the tools, are extensively reported. The computer-aided designing (CAD) and finite-element method (FEM) and 3D optical scanning were used in analysis aimed at dimensional deviations of the dies and the extruded products. The surface engineering techniques such as welding techniques, diffusion layers and protective coatings such as produced by physical vapour deposition (PVD), plasma-enhanced physical vapour deposition (PAPVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) are described. Various original methods of extrusion including the severe plastic deformation processes (SPD), such as cyclic extrusion compression (CEC), equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and hydrostatic extrusion (HE) are discussed. The above techniques as well as the new KOBO extrusion process with oscillating die movement generate significant refining of the microstructure of metals and alloys and enable consolidation of the powdered materials. The application of the rapid solidification process connected with the hot extrusion permits production of beneficial microstructure and above-standard mechanical properties of the extruded products. Finally, the opportunities and directions of development of the extrusion process of metals and alloys are indicated.
