In the field of metal forming, for the purpose of using minimum energy to achieve the required deformation, rising the working temperature and reducing the resistance of material deformation is one of the most popular methods. In order to realize the deformation behaviors of the material, it is necessary to discuss heat transfer phenomena and deformation energies. There are many analytical methods applied to simulate the deformation behaviors of hot extrusion, such as Finite Element Method, Slab Method, Slip-line Field Method and Upper Bound Method. In this study, a 3-D heat transfer model for extrusion of bimetal rod is developed by combining the Upper Bound Method with the Finite Difference Method. Generally, in 2-D simulation model of hot extrusion , the analytical results have not good accuracy compare with the experimental results especially in the bimetals of multi-core or in the materials with complex shape. Using the proposed 3-D model, the informations of the hot extrusion of multi-core bimetals that of the can be obtained and the results of 3-D model were compare with the 2-D model, In order to verify the usefulness of this model, experimetals under different core sizes, different heating temperatures and different ram speeds were executed, and the results show good coincidence with the analytical results.
