== Expected outputs ==

* Database for texture and microstructure evolution of AM30 and AZ61 
* VPSC Model parameters (Voce and dislocation based hardening laws) for AM30 and AZ61 at different temperatures and strain rates 
* Fitting routine for ISV material model and VPSC GUI. 
* User material routine for material models (ISV and Barnett’s models). 
* FE models of extrusion process (lab-scale and Timminco’s) predicting flow stress, strain, strain rates and temperatures. 

'''More specific task outputs:'''
* Characterization of texture and microstructure of AM30 and AZ61 alloy based pre-extruded billets and rail components. 
* Prediction of texture and microstructure of Extruded AM30 and AZ61 Alloys. 
* Calibrated material model (ISV and Barnett’s) and corresponding numerical implementation into FE codes. 
* Validated crystal plasticity modeling tools (VPSC) to be coupled with the FE-based HyperXtrude model. 
* FE models of the extrusion process (Deform3D and HyperXtrude) predicting flow stress, strain, strain rate and temperature distributions.
