N2 - As a new metal forming technology, the liquid infiltration and semi-solid extrusion process can produce various composite parts, such as tubes, bars, and shaped products, in a single process. In this paper, the liquid infiltration and semi-solid extrusion process for forming a composite tube is simulated by means of thermal rigid-plastic quasi-coupling FEM method. The key technologies such as the handling of liquid phase zone, the transition between liquid and solid phase zones, the grid re-meshing method and the establishment of the boundary condition have also been studied. Based on the FEM simulation software developed by the authors and the grid re-meshing technology, the distribution of stress field, strain field and deformation force in the liquid infiltration and semi-solid extrusion process for forming composite tubes are obtained. The deformation force simulation results accord with the experimental data, indicating the reliability of the system. Therefore, the present research is theoretically valuable in the product quality control and the process parameter choice.
