Even though China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of aluminium, it is not a large exporter or importer of aluminium. Russia was the world’s largest exporter of aluminium, exporting 3.4 million tonnes, or 18% of world exports in 2015. In 2015, the world’s largest importer was Germany with 2.59 million tonnes, or 11% of the world’s total imports. [5] 2. Numerical simulation COMSOL is a powerful engineering software for running simulations by applying the finite element method whereby intended for solving problems ranging from primary linear analyses to extremely demanding nonlinear simulations. It has a large library of elements which enables the creation of different model geometries. Designed as a general simulation tool, COMSOL can be applied in researching not only structural problems. It enables heat transfer simulations, mass transfer through diffusion, thermoelectric analysis, acoustics, soil mechanics, piezoelectric analysis, electromagnetic analysis and fluid dynamics. COMSOL software package has an environment that offers a simple, consistent interface for creating, monitoring and evaluating the results by using the COMSOL simulator. The package is composed of several modules where each one defines a logical aspect of the modelling process such as: • defining geometry, • specifying the properties of materials • mesh generation. Transitioning from module to module creates a model from which ABAQUS generates an input file necessary for performing the simulation process. Results analysis is performed in a separate module where COMSOL receives information that enable progress monitoring and output database creation. Reading output data, reviewing and correcting the results of the analysis are enabled by applying the module intended for visualisation. The entire COMSOL analysis consists of three phases: pre-processing, simulation, post-processing. The produced profile has a composition of the AlMgSi0.5 alloy, where it is the most prominent one in the extrusion process when it comes to the profile extrusion. The extruded profile sample along with the utilised documentation is shown in Figure 1.

By defining a mesh at the output cross section, we can see that there is a clear distinction that the mesh is properly distributed in relation to the die mesh, which means that there will be no mesh deviation, that is, profile deformation. On the other hand, there is a probability that deformation and die damage will occur. An overview of the die mesh and the extruded profile is presented in Figure 2.

Fig. 2. A detail of the extrusion profile mesh and the extrusion zone

The appearance of a different mesh density can be noted on the lateral side of the model cross section and at the container and die inlets considering that billet heating starts at the inlet, while billet deformation and the process of shaping it into a profile that is extruded starts at the die inlet, so mesh thickening is expected to occur in those areas. The changes are shown in Figure 3.

3. Simulation results The results obtained during the simulation give a clear overview of the tool and billet state after the simulation is finished where, based upon the results, we can see where it is necessary to perform tool corrections and correction in the extrusion process. Figures 4. and 5. display isothermal temperature changes where the lowest temperature is noted at the container inlet and the highest one at the die exit, that is, at the location where the profile is finally shaped. Figure 6 displays die stress distribution where it can be noted that the stress expands towards the edges of the die, which leads to die deformation Considering that extremely high temperatures and pressure are involved here, die strains can be detected by way of simulating the cross section, which is shown in Figure 7. Figure 8. displays the velocity fields and the aluminium flow patterns in the profile cross section. Figure 9. shows the flow patterns, velocity fields and deformation of the profile during extrusion where red arrows represent the heat flux of the extruded aluminium. Figure 10. shows the mesh deformation under stress.

4. Conclusion In many cases, software programmes for 2D and 3D modelling help in predicting how the processed item will behave thereby predicting and preventing potential mistakes, which automatically saves time and money. Automotive industries, aircraft industries and all the world’s companies base their production on the usage of software packages because it is impossible to imagine product manufacturing without previous performance tests being made (even if it is theoretical, conducted under ideal conditions).
