Evaluating Method

Non-stability factors affect stability of radial ring rolling process, and lead to fluctuating of ring position. This decreases rolling precision. Evaluating stability of the process is very important. A stability evaluating method is proposed. The stability can be measured with the mean square root of sequence of oscillation of ring geometrical centerline displacement. Using ABAQUS/Explicit, the stability is analyzed. It is showed that guide-roll position angle has the significant effect to the stability. If guide-roll is located at the tangential position to the ring’s fringe, the stability will vary with the angle between two planes. One passes through axes of guide roll and ring blank, and another passes through axes of drive roll and ring blank. The stability is highest when guide roll is situated at the position angle of 100˚to 130˚at exit side of ring rolling mill.

The heavy shell ring rolling mill which produces the large shell ring used in nuclear power, large-scale hydrogenation reactor and coal liquefaction reactor was taken as subject investigated. Because the size of shell ring is very large and the material of shell ring is special, the double drive rolls was taken in the shell ring rolling mill. Based on the elastic-plastic FEM and MARC software platform, the three dimensional thermal-mechanical coupled model of shell ring rolling process was built in this paper. First, the heat simulation text of the shell ring material has been carried out on the Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation test machine and the material properties were obtained. Then, considering the characteristics of heavy shell ring hot rolling mill with two drive rolls, the key problems such as geometry, material and thermo-boundary conditions were solved, the thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model of heavy shell ring hot rolling has been establised. At last, based on explicit dynamic FEM, the thermo-mechanical simulation of heavy shell ring rolling process was made. The stress field, strain field and temperature field were studied, the metal plastic deformation and its influence factors were investigated. The conclusions are agreement with the real rolling process. The conclusions are significant for designing equipments of shell ring rolling mill and developing new rolling schedule.

The heavy shell ring rolling process was taken as subject investigated. Because the size of shell ring is very large and the material of shell ring is special, in order to make the shell ring to be bitten smoothly and make the rolling process stable, the double drive rolls was proposed in the shell ring rolling mill.

Ring Rolling Process

Although cold ring rolling (CRR) process is largely used in the manufacturing of profiled rings like bearing races, research on this purpose has been scant. In this study, based on a validated finite element (FE) model, CRR process is simulated regarding the variable and constant feed speeds of the mandrel roll which lead to constant and variable values of the ring's diameter growth rates respectively using a 3D rigid-plastic finite element method (FEM). Major technological problems involved in the process including plastic deformation behavior, strain distribution and its uniformity, Cockcroft and Latham damage field and final outer diameter of ring are fully investigated. The results of simulations would provide a good basis for process control especially feed speed controlled mills and guiding the design and optimization of both cold and hot ring rolling process.

Guide rolls play an important role in controlling both the ring circularity and the stability of cold ring rolling process. However, it is difficult to predict and control the motion of the guide rolls due to the complexity of process associated with the coupled effects of multi-factors. In this paper, a reasonable controlling model of the guide rolls is proposed, and the functional relationship between the motion track of the guide rolls and their setup parameters and process ones is established, by which the guide rolls motion track can be determined. On this basis, a 3D-FE simulation model for cold ring rolling is developed under the ABAQUS software environment and the effects of the initial position and motion track of the guide rolls on the forming stability, ring circularity, rolling force, and oscillating are investigated. Taking the forming stability and ring circularity as objects, the optimum initial position and motion track of the guide rolls are obtained.

The guiding roll is an important part of the ring rolling equipment which plays an important part in stabilizing the rolling and ensuring the quality of product. This paper obtained the formula for instant diameter of ring during the rolling process and established the motion equation of guiding roll. The angular velocity, instant displacements in X and Y direction of guiding roll center were calculated by MATLAB software. The numerical simulation of ring rolling of ring with rectangular cross sections was completed under the ABAQUS/Explicit environment after importing the instant displacement of guiding roll center. The simulation results indicate that the guiding roll could be controlled accurately by the proper method. These research conclusions can provide scientific basis for ensuring the quality of product and accurately controlling the movement of guiding roll during the ring rolling.

A mathematical model for radial conical ring rolling with a closed die structure on the top and bottom of driven roll, simplified as RCRRCDS, was established. The plastic penetration and biting-in conditions in RCRRCDS process were determined. A mandrel feeding strategy for RCRRCDS process was proposed. The mandrel feed rate and its reasonable value range were deduced. The coupled thermal-mechanical FE model of RCRRCDS process was established. The reasonable value range of the mandrel feed rate was verified by using numerical simulation method. The results indicate that the reasonable value range of the mandrel feed rate is feasible, the proposed mandrel feeding strategy can realize a steady RCRRCDS process, and the forming quality of conical ring rolled by using the proposed feeding strategy is better than that of conical ring rolled by using a constant mandrel feed rate.

Ring Rolling Process

Based on the platform ABAQUS, a 3-D FEM model of spirogyrate ring rolling process has been developed to investigate the ring’s deformation behavior and the expansion law of the diameter. According to the FEM analysis, this kind of profile ring rolling process can be divided into two phases, i.e. the profile forming phase and the diameter increasing phase. During the former phase, the deformation of spirogyrate ring focuses on the profile formation and the diameter increases slowly. In the latter phase, the ring diameter expands rapidly. FEA illustrates that the material flowing to the outer diameter areas is greater than that towards the inner diameter areas in the profile forming phase. The maximum PEEQ is in the pit of the outer profile, whereas the minimum PEEQ locates near the end face. The variation of outer and inner diameter of the spirogyrate ring shows monotonic increasing trend during the whole ring rolling process, in which the expanding rate of inner areas is greater than that of the outer areas.

A mechanical model of axial ring rolling is established. According to the analytical method, the calculation formula of axial ring rolling contact area and unit rolling force is derived. On this basis the calculation formula of axial rolling force is derived. The influence of processing parameters on the axial rolling force is investigated. It is found that the axial rolling force increases with the increase of the outer diameter of ring, and the axial rolling force decreases with the increase of the inside diameter of ring. The greater the feed in axial direction, the greater the axial rolling force.

Ring Rolling Process

Radial-axial ring rolling is an important component of advanced manufacturing technology, but it has characteristics of high nonlinear on geometry and physics, so the radial-axial ring rolling process becomes very complex. In addition, the feeding mode of core roller has enormous influence on the quality of the rolled ring as well as the stability of the process. In this paper, a 3D rigid-plastic FE model of radial-axial ring rolling process is established, then three kinds of feed speed design ((1)constant of feed speed; (2)constant of feed in one rotary; (3)variation of feed speed)are offered. The difference of outer radius growth velocity, distribution of effective strain and temperature, rolling force, size of ring are analysised for the three kinds of feed methods. And, an optimized feed method is proposed base on analytic results, the optimized feed method can improve the quality of formed ring, and decrease the requirement of ring rolling mill.
