The distributions of stress, strain, temperature and the rolling force andtorque for the two-pass and four-pass continuous rolling are calculated respectively. Thus, the two and four-passroll schedules are verified, respectively. The simulation results show that it is safe to produce 200 mm round barby the two-pass (oval pass and round pass) continuous rolling on the existing equipment compared to the four-passcontinuous rolling. There are concave surfaces and increased widths occurring at the end of rolled billet due touneven deformations between the outside and inside of the workpiece as well as the free spreading close to the rollgap of the final pass.展开更多

The results indicate that following an increase in the quenching ,the degree of alloying is enhanced due to the carbides dissolving gradually in austenite, which improves the hardenability of the specimens, as well as their room and high-temperature strength. At the same time, the fracture toughness increases due to the increment of the martensite number and the interparticle distance of impact toughness. Optimal performance Consequently,the service life of the H13 the carbides. However, extremely coarse grain and martensite can decrease the can be obtained after quenching at 1 060℃ and double tempering at 620℃mandrel steel is extended significantly.展开更多

The results indicate that both carbide particles and grains were refined, carbide particles were uniformly distributed by the refining treatment, and therefore,the strength and toughness of H13 mandrel steel were improved. Rapid cooling after the solution treatment may inhibit intra-granular precipitation of carbide particles, which is favorable to enhancing toughness. Consequently, high- performance H13 mandrel steel can be produced by proper refining treatment.展开更多

In order to obtain the microstructure evolution law of aluminum alloy hollow shaft in cross wedge rolling without mandrel, a finite element model is constructed through the finite element software Deform-3D. The influences of rolling temperature, sectional shrinkage,spreading angle and forming angle on the average grain size of rolled piece are studied by numerical simulation of microstructure evolution. The cellular automata method reveals the inherent relationship between the process parameters and the evolution of the microstructure, and provides a reference for optimizing the rolling process parameters of aluminum alloy hollow shafts and improving the forming quality. The results show that the average grain size of the rolled piece increases with the increase of the rolling temperature, decreases with the increase of the sectional shrinkage,and decreases first and then increases with the increase of the spreading angle, and changes little with the increase of the forming angle.展开更多

Influencing factors of the mandrel include the count of mandrel heads, the diameter of mandrel and its position. According to the principle of NC tube bending, quality defects possibly produced in thin-walled tube NC bending process were analyzed and two parameters were proposed in order to describe the cross section quality of thin-walled tube NC bending. According to the geometrical dimension of tube and dies, the range of mandrel protrusion was derived. The finite element model of thin-walled tube NC bending was established based on the DYNAFORM platform, and key technological problems were solved. The model was verified by experiment. The effect of the number of mandrel heads, the diameter of mandrel and the protrusion length of mandrel on the cross section quality of thin-walled tube NC bending was revealed and how to choose mandrel parameters was presented.展开更多

Based on the comparison research, the processes were optimized, such as steelmaking, heat treatment and multiple forging processes. The quality of Baosteel mandrels was greatly improved by increasing the homogenizing of an annealing temperature and refining processes. The results of the pilot trial showed that the average number of piercing steel tubes for Baosteel mandrels was over 3000 ,which reached the level of imported mandrels.展开更多
