The objective of this article is to investigate numerically frictional stress in the contact zone at the die/billet interface in the direct extrusion of aluminum alloys considering starved lubricated conditions. In the modeling, both the inlet and work zones have been investigated by coupled solution of the governing equations. The influences of the billet material%26apos;s strain hardening and its heating due to the plastic deformation are accounted for in the numerical computation. The frictional shear stress at the die/billet interface is computed using three different lubricating oils. Numerical results have been presented herein for the various operating parameters viz. starvation factor (psi = 0.2-0.6), lubricants%26apos; viscosities (eta(0) = 0.05 Pa s-0.2 Pa s), semi die angle (beta = 10 degrees-20 degrees), and material parameter (G = 0.56-2.25). It has been observed that the frictional stress increases with an increase in the severity of the lubricant%26apos;s starvation for the given values of semi-die angle, extrusion speed, and material parameter.
