•    Description:   When using FEA simulations for die design, a primary task is predicting the peak stress of a porthole die. By accurately estimating the tool stress under load, it is possible to predict whether or not a mandrel might be subject to permanent plastic deformation. This article looks at a case study in which the influence of die preheating temperature, aluminum alloy, and billet preheating temperature were investigated in terms of mandrel stress for a Butterfly Die™ type die design.
