Estimation of the resource of sliding bearings of roll reinforcement in section rolling mills

A new bearing unit is developed for the input roll reinforcement of the stands of 170 ПАО MMK section mill. A model of wear of sliding bearings is considered, which establishes the influence of the design parameters of the bearing, the frictional characteristics of materials and the conditions of surface treatment on the resource, friction force and contour pressure. Keywords: section rolling mill, hot rolling, roll reinforcement, sliding bearings, wear model, resource. [email protected]

Angular Rolling of the Hollow Flanges of Pipe Joints

The paper considers a three-stage technology for angular rolling of the pipe workpiece. This technology facilitates the expansion of the range of flange parts available by eliminating a number of drawbacks of the known methods of metal forming. In the presented paper, we analyze the results of numerical calculations and experiments, as well as the effective deformation values in blank material, using computer simulation in the DEFORM-3D software package. The results of the computer simulation were reached taking into account experimental studies of the rheological properties of copper alloy L68 in the form of a strain hardening curve using the Instron-8850 complex. The results of the ratio of basic geometric dimensions expanded the range of flange parts under investigation and allowed us to consider angular rolling technology with a variable angle of inclination of the rolling roll from a three-stage perspective, especially in small-scale production.
