Abstract In this paper, a concise and fast 2D model of the roll tensioning process was built using the finite element method. Elastic thermal expansion is used to simulate rolling plastic deformation. A 3D model considering contact between roller and circular saw blade was also built. Through comparison of residual stress results obtained by the 2D model, 3D model, and X-ray stress test method, the correctness and feasibility of the 2D model were proven. While accounting for the diversity of circular saw blade structure, this paper provided an idea for rapidly predicting the residual stress field of a roll-tensioned circular saw blade.

In this paper, 3D roll tensioning elastoplastic model was built by finite element method and the research object was a common circular saw blade body with hole, slot, and scraper structure. The theoretical calculation results show that there are areas dominated by tangential compressive stress near slot and scraper of roll tensioned saw blade body, which is not the expected result. It is proved that residual stress of saw blade body can be regulated by combining roll tensioning and local plastic compression process in this paper. The theoretical calculation results show that the outer edge of saw blade body near slot and scraper becomes area dominated by tangential tensile stress after the improved tensioning process. The improved tensioning process has little effect on stiffness and waist strength of circular saw blade.

Abstract In recent years, a multispot pressure tensioning process appeared in the field of circular saw blade manufacturing. Due to the insufficient understanding about the formation and evolution of the tensioning effect of this process, this study aimed to analyze and optimize the tensioning effect on a circular saw blade tensioned by multispot pressure. It could provide a theoretical basis and key technical parameters for regulating and controlling the tensioning effect of this process. In this article, the natural frequency and the tensioning stress field of a circular saw blade tensioned by multispot pressure were calculated by ABAQUS software. The simulated tensioning stress field was in agreement with the experimental results, which confirmed the accuracy of the simulation model. The influence of process parameters on the natural frequency and tangential tensile stress in the edge of the circular saw blade was examined and compared based on the orthogonal method. Simulation results show that the parameters of the multispot pressure tensioning process have different degrees of influence on the tensioning effect of a circular saw blade. Considering the natural frequency and tangential tensile stress in the edge of a circular saw blade synthetically, optimal process parameters for multispot pressure tensioning were obtained.

Abstract The aluminothermic welding (ATW) process is the most commonly used welding process for welding rails (track) in the field. The large amount of weld metal added in the ATW process may result in a wide uneven surface zone on the rail head, which may, in rare cases, lead to irregularities in wear and plastic deformation due to high dynamic wheel-rail forces as wheels pass. The present paper studies the introduction of additional forging to the ATW process, intended to reduce the width of the zone affected by the heat input, while not creating a more detrimental residual stress field. Simulations using a novel thermo-mechanical FE model of the ATW process show that addition of a forging pressure leads to a somewhat smaller width of the zone affected by heat. This is also found in a metallurgical examination, showing that this zone (weld metal and heat-affected zone) is fully pearlitic. Only marginal differences are found in the residual stress field when additional forging is applied. In both cases, large tensile residual stresses are found in the rail web at the weld. Additional forging may increase the risk of hot cracking due to an increase in plastic strains within the welded area.

A finite-element computer program, which takes into consideration nonlinear material behavior after the yield point has been exceeded, has been used to analyze the thermal stresses in railroad freight car wheels subjected to severe drag brake heating. The analysis has been used with typical wheel material properties and wheel configurations to determine the thermal stress field and the extent of regions in the wheel where the yield point is exceeded. The resulting changes in the residual stress field after the wheel has cooled to ambient temperature have also been calculated. It is shown that severe drag braking can lead to the development of residual circumferential tensile stresses in the rim and radial compressive stresses in the plate near both the hub and rim fillets.
