Abstract. Rotary forging with double symmetry rolls (DSRs) is a new metal plastic forming technology developed on the basis of conventional rotary forging with a single roll, which uses a pair of symmetrical cone rolls to realize continuous local pressure plastic deformation of the workpiece. Large-diameter, thin discs are a key component in nuclear power, aerospace, deep-sea exploration, and other fields. At present, the forming process of large-diameter discs mainly includes welding and multiple local upsetting, but these processes exhibit many defects and can not meet the requirements of industry. In this paper, a large diameter : thickness ratio disc is integrally formed by rotary forging with DSRs. Using theoretical calculation and finite element simulation methods, the stable rolling conditions and calculation formulas of force and power parameters of rotary forging with DSRs of a large diameter : thickness ratio disc are derived. Based on the reliable three-dimensional rigid-plastic finite element model, the plastic deformation characteristics of rotary forging with DSRs of discs are studied, the reliability of the stable rolling conditions and the calculation formulas of force and power parameters are verified, and the defects and causes of unstable rolling conditions are analysed. An experiment was carried out on a rotary forging press developed with double symmetry rolls, and the experimental results are in good agreement with simulation results, which demonstrated that rotary forging with DSRs is a reliable technology for forming large diameter : thickness ratio discs. The results of this research are helpful to promote the further development of rotary forging with DSRs.

With the development of industrial technology, the application of large diameter-thickness ratio integral discs in various high precision vessels is becoming more and more important. At present, the forming processes of large-diameter disc mainly includes welding and multiple local upsetting, but these processes exhibit large defects and cannot meet the requirements of industry. Therefore, a new metal plastic forming technology, namely rotary forging with multi-cone rolls (MCRs) is proposed to integrally form large diameter and ultra-thin discs. The forming process was simulated by DEFORM-3D finite element analysis software, and the deformation characteristics of MCRs disc were revealed. The results show that the axial plastic deformation of disc can be divided into three stages. In the first stage, the plastic deformation area was basically symmetrical, and the deformation was relatively stable. In the second stage, the plastic deformation area on both sides was different, which was in the unstable stage and easy to produce defects. In the third stage, the plastic deformation area was approximately symmetrical for a long time, and the plastic deformation was stable. At the same time, the influence of process parameters on the form characteristics of MCRs, the main defects in the deformation process and the preventive measures were studied. The research results are helpful to better understand the metal plastic forming technology of MCRs and promote the further development of MCRs.

Based on the rigid-plastic deformation finite element method and the heat transfer theories, the forming process of cross wedge rolling was simulated with the finite element software DEFORM-3D. The temperature field of the rolled piece during the forming process was analyzed. The results show that the temperature gradient in the outer of the work-piece is sometimes very large and temperature near the contact deformation zone is the lowest while temperature near the center of the rolled-piece keeps relatively stable and even rises slightly. Research results provide a basis for further study on metal flow and accurate shaping of work-piece during cross wedge rolling.

Elasto-plastic tensile deformations in pearlite lamellar and two-colony structures are studied by finite element analyses to investigate the effects of lamellar thickness ratio and difference of lamellae orientation of two colonies in pearlite microstructure. The results obtained from plastic strain distributions in lamellar and colony structures show that plastic deformation in cementite lamellar stabilized when ferrite lamellar is thicker than cementite lamellar thickness and plastic strain concentrates when the difference between cementite lamellar orientation in two colonies are larger than 45°.

In this paper, a simplified nonlinear finite element for bump foil forming process of foil air bearings is developed. The bump foil is dealt with as flexible deformable body, the upper die and lower die are considered as the rigid body without deformation. The friction model between bump foil and dies with velocity-dependent friction forces is described by arctan function. The forming process of SS304 Stainless Steel bump foil under different loads is investigated with rigid-plastic finite element method. The simulation results are compared with theoretical values and experimental results. Therefore more feasible process parameters are obtained to fabricate the bump foils.

Abstract Double-roll rotary forging is an emerging plastic forming technology based on rotary forging. Owing to the advantages of labor saving, small eccentric load, low noise and vibration, good uniformity, high surface quality and material saving, it is very promising for fabrication of large-diameter thin-walled disc. To date, few relevant research on the double-roll rotary forging technology of large-diameter thin-walled metal discs has been reported, and the forming mechanisms and process of disc workpieces remains uninvestigated. Herein, a 3D rigid-plastic finite element model (FEM) is established to simulate the fabrication process of large-diameter thin-walled disc, four geometric features appear in the forming process: “mushroom” shape, “upper drum” shape, “drum shape” shape and “lower drum” shape. Equivalent stress, equivalent strain and temperature field of these four geometric shapes are analyzed, and the forming mechanism of these four geometric shapes is revealed. The reliability and accuracy of FEM are verified through experiments and the four geometric shape features occur in the process are consistent with the simulation. The research results provide valuable guidelines for better understanding of double-roll rotary forging for the fabrication of large-diameter thin-walled discs.

This paper is concerned with the plastic deformation modes of the free surface of the half space between the teeth on the serrated surface of a rigid body. The rigid body indents the half space perpendicularly and the material of the half space is assumed to be elastic/rigid perfectly plastic. Plane-strain conditions are assumed. The emphasis in this paper is on the profile left on the surfaces of the material when the indentation proceeds to some depth and then the indenter is removed. Based on the observations from finite element results, slip line fields for the plastic deformation regions at various stages of indentation are proposed and the corresponding hodographs for the velocity field are presented. This has application in roughness transfer of final metal forming process.

JCO forming is one of manufacture mode widely used in production of large diameter submerged-arc welding pipes, in which JCO forming process is progressive multi-step air bending. In order to improve JCO forming quality, it is necessary to analysis deformation characteristic of air bending. So, air bending is analyzed using finite element method. Taking the air bending of X80 steel Φ1219mm×22mm×12000mm welding pipe for instance, the air bending is simulated by finite element (FE) code ABAQUS. In this paper, the simulation data is validated by experiments and a comparison showed a good agreement with experiments results. The stress/strain from simulation is discussed. Thus, the results of research provides a basis to improve JCO forming quality.
