Skew Rolling

The paper presents chosen aspects of the skew rolling process of hollow stepped products with the use of a skew rolling mill designed and manufactured at the Lublin University of Technology. This machine is characterized by the numerical control of spacing between the working rolls and the sequence of the gripper axial movement, which allows for the individual programming of the obtained shapes of parts such as stepped axles and shafts. The length of these zones and the values of possibly realizable cross-section reduction and obtained outlines are the subject of this research paper. The chosen results regarding the influence of the technological parameters used on the course of the process are shown in the present study. Numerical modelling using the finite element method in Simufact Forming, as well as the results of experimental tests performed in a skew rolling mill, were applied in the conducted research. The work takes into account the influence of cross-section reduction of the hollow parts and the feed rate per rotation on the metal flow mechanisms in the skew rolling process. The presented results concern the obtained dimensional deviations and changes in the wall thickness determining the proper choice of technological parameters for hollow parts formed by the skew rolling method. Knowledge about the cause of the occurrence of these limitations is very important for the development of this technology and the choice of the process parameters.

This paper presents selected numerical and experimental results of a skew rolling process for producing balls using helical tools. The study investigates the effect of the billet’s initial temperature on the quality of produced balls and the rolling process itself. In addition, the effect of billet diameter on the quality of produced balls is investigated. Experimental tests were performed using a helical rolling mill available at the Lublin University of Technology. The experiments consisted of rolling 40 mm diameter balls with the use of two helical tools. To determine optimal rolling parameters ensuring the highest quality of produced balls, numerical modelling was performed using the finite element method in the Forge software. The numerical analysis involved the determination of metal flow kinematics, temperature and damage criterion distributions, as well as the measurement of variations in the force parameters. The results demonstrate that the highest quality balls are produced from billet preheated to approximately 1000 °C.

AbstractResults of a study investigating a skew rolling process for elongated axisymmetric parts are presented. Despite the fact that the skew rolling technique for producing such parts was developed and implemented in the mid-twentieth century, there are no studies on this problem. The first part of this paper presents the results of FEM modelling of skew rolling stepped axles and shafts (solid and hollow). The FEM analysis was performed using the MSC Simufact Forming software. The numerical simulation involved the determination of metal flow patterns, the analysis of thermal parameters of the material during rolling, and the prediction of cracking by the Cockcroft-Latham ductile fracture criterion. Force parameters of rolling solid and hollow parts were also determined. The aim of the FEM analysis was to determine initial design assumptions and parameters for the development of the skew rolling mill. Later on in the paper, a design solution of a CNC skew rolling mill for rolling parts based on their envelope profile is proposed. FEM strength test results of a mill stand, obtained with MSC. NASTRAN, are presented. Finally, the performance test results of the constructed rolling mill are presented. The experiments involved rolling real stepped shafts that were modelled numerically. Obtained results show that the proposed skew rolling method has considerable potential. The designed and constructed rolling mill can be used to perform the rolling process according to the proposed method, with the tool and material kinematics being controlled based on the set parameters of a workpiece envelope.

This paper presents the research results of the microstructure changes of the round rods of AZ31 magnesium alloy in the hot rolling processes. The rolling was conducted in duo mill and a three-high skew rolling mill. Numerical modelling of the AZ31 magnesium alloy round rods rolling process was conducted using a computer program Forge 2011®. The verification of the results of numerical modelling was carried out during laboratory tests in a two-high rolling mill D150 and a three-high skew rolling mill RSP 40/14. Distributions of the total effective strain and temperature during AZ31 rods rolling process were determined on the basis of the theoretical analysis. Microstructure and texture changes during both analysed processes were studied.

Alloy 625

The hot deformation behavior of the Inconel alloy 625 was investigated through compression test within the temperature range of 850–1250 °C and the strain rate range of 0.1–30 s−1. Physically based mathematical model involving dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization processes has been proposed. Mathematical model allowed to calculate technological parameters of a rolling process of the “Inconel 625” at the hot rolling mill 2300. The pilot rolling operations showed that the possibility of the “Inconel 625” production exists. But it is necessary to provide the design changes of the cooling system of the work rolls. The article addressed the cracking behavior of nickel alloys in industries such as chemical process, nuclear generation, aircraft engine production.

Theoretical Considerations

This paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental investigations of a new process of rolling rods from scrap rail heads. First, the industrial applications of scrap railway rails and methods of their recycling are discussed, and then the concept of two-stage rolling of rods from heads cut off from scrap rails is proposed. In the first stage of the process, a rail head preform was rolled in a hexagonal pass of a longitudinal rolling mill. Then in the second stage, the hexagonal bar was skew rolled into a rod in a helical roll pass. Theoretical considerations were based on finite element numerical modelling. The rolling process was simulated under 3D deformation using Forge NxT v.1.1 software developed by Transvalor Company. Calculations were carried out to determine the material flow kinematics, strength, and thermal parameters of the process and to identify the phenomena that might constrain its implementation. The numerical results were verified in experimental tests, during which preforms and rods were formed from scrap rail heads. The tests were conducted in longitudinal and skew rolling mills. The results indicate that rods can be effectively formed from scrap rail heads in just two steps. Rods obtained using the proposed method can be used as full-featured, semifinished products for the manufacture of various types of machine parts.

The paper presents results of theoretical and experimental studies on the influence of strip temperature reduction at the final stage of the normalizing rolling process in a continuous bar rolling mill on the energy and force parameters. The studies were carried out for 38 mm-diameter round bars of constructional steel S355J2G3 (St52-3 acc. to DIN). At the first stage, numerical modelling of the rolling process was performed for the conditions of the currently used rolling technology. The aim of this stage of the work was to determine the distribution of strip temperature during the rolling process and of strip temperature after the rolling process. The obtained computation results were compared with the measurement results recorded during the actual rolling process using a thermovision camera. A computer program designed for three-dimensional modelling of metal flow during rolling in passes was used for the determination of the distribution of strip temperature during rolling. The second stage of the studies included modelling of the bar rolling technology modified by applying normalizing rolling after introducing accelerated strip cooling at the final stage of rolling. The aim of this stage of the work was to establish the influence of reduced strip temperature on the change in the values of the energy and force parameters of the process. By comparing the computed values of rolling power with those of the permissible power it was found that these values were lower than the permissible power of the rolling machine’s main drives installed in the Rolling Mill under analysis. Thus, it was demonstrated that it was possible to implement the process of normalizing rolling in the conditions of the Shape Mill under study.

Nowadays, Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) methods are at the focus of material researchers and among these methods, Twist Extrusion (TE) is one of promising ones to pave the way of commercialization. In this Investigation the magnitude of strain distribution along 4 selected paths of sample after 3 passes of Twist Extrusion were investigated by computer simulation and its influence on aluminum 1100 microstructure by experimental tests. ABAQUS 6.5 software based on FEM was applied for the former and 70 mm length samples with cross-section of 18*28 mm were exploited for the latter. According to the simulation results, corner, middle of small side, middle of long side and center of the cross-section are placed from maximum to minimum magnitude of strain respectively. Theses achievements were verified with metallographic images in aspect of metal flow and grain size as well.

Abstract Technology of round bars rolling on a three-high skew rolling mills allows rolling of standard materials such as steel and aluminum, as well as new materials, especially hard deformable materials. The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental rolling process of aluminum bars with a diameter of 20 mm. As the stock round bars with a diameter of 25 mm made of aluminum grade 1050A and aluminum alloy grade 2017A were used. The rolling process of aluminum bars has been carried out in a single pass. The numerical analysis was carried out by using computer program Forge2011®. On the basis of theoretical research it has been determined the state of deformation, stress and temperature distribution during rolling of aluminum bars. In addition, the results of theoretical research allowed to determine the schema of the metal plastic flow in the roll gap. Verification of the theoretical research was carried out during the rolling of aluminum bars on the RSP 40/14 laboratory three-high skew rolling mill. From the finished bars were taken the samples to set the shape and compared with the results of theoretical research. Finished aluminum round bars were characterized by low ovality and good surface quality.

The paper presents a comparative analysis of skew rolling in 3- and 4-roll CNC rolling mills. The analysis is performed using the FEM-based commercial simulation software Simufact.Forming. The formation of both solid and hollow railway axles is analyzed. Distributions of effective strain, temperature and damage criterion in rolled axles are determined, and loads and torques acting on the tools during rolling are estimated. An innovative concept of calibrating hollow axles by the rotary compression technique developed at the Lublin University of Technology is presented. Experimental tests of rolling solid axles in a 3-roll rolling mill (in a scale of 1:5) are performed, and basic force parameters of the rolling process are measured. Numerical and experimental loads and torques show a high agreement in terms of both quality and quantity.
