The mathematic model for unsteady aluminum extrusion processes with large deformation using finite volume method based on non-orthogonal structure grids was established in this paper. The basic governing equations were given, and key technologies of finite volume method based on non-orthogonal structure grids for aluminum extrusion processes simulation were studied. Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was applied on 3D non-orthogonal structure grids to capture the free surface of the materials. Plastic shear friction model was used to apply friction boundary conditions. Associating with constitutive equations and dynamie viscosity iteration, the simulation program of aluminum extrusion processes was written. A typical thin-walled aluminum profile extrusion process with severe deformation was simulated, and velocities, effective stress, effective strain rate were obtained. The results were compared with those simulated by Deform-3D in the same conditions. The feasibility and accuracy of the mathematic model built in this paper were proved.
