Can HyperXtrude model the influence of glass pad between billet and die?
Yes, HyperXtrude 11.0 can model influence of glass pad thickness during extrusion.
Glass pads are used to reduce friction during extrusion of steel, titanium, and nickel alloys. During extrusion the glass pad melts and forms a coating profiles as it exits the die. The solver tracks the interface between the billet and glass pad and uses properties based on weighted average of billet and glass material for elements with partial glass pad.
