THE STUDY OF THE PROCESS OF ROLLING PIPES FROM ANISOTROPIC MATERIAL
The process of rolling pipe with simultaneous significant changes in pipe diameter and thickness is carried out at the mandrel stage. In the region of plastic deformation, biaxial stress and plane deformation state of a pipe take place. The area of biaxial stress state is characterized by the presence of two sections: a section of the sptial bending before the contact with the roll and a section which is in contact with the cylindrical surface of the roll. It is assumed that the material of a tube blank is incompressible, has a cylindrical anisotropy of mechanical properties, is anisotropically hardenable, for which the Mises-Hill yield condition and the associated law of plastic flow are valid. The article considers stress distribution in the areas of biaxial stress state. To take into account the anisotropic hardening of the material information concerning distribution of deformations in the region of plastic deformation was taken into account. The problem of stress distribution in the region of plane deformation state of the region of plastic deformation was considered. It is assumed that radial flow of the material occurs in the region and Coulomb's law of friction is realized at the contact boundaries of the workpiece and the tool. The change in the direction of material flow at the inlet and outlet of the region is taken into account by means of radial stress modification with regard to the discontinuity of the tangential component at the boundary of the deformation region by the work balance method. The expressions obtained for determining deformations and stresses makes it possible to analyze the process of rolling pipes at the mandrel stage taking into account material anisotropy. The obtained results can be used to create resource-saving technologies for processing metallic materials using new nanocomposite lubricants and coatings.
