ВИРТУАЛЬНОЕ МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ЦЕНТРОБЕЖНОГО ЛИТЬЯ ВАЛКОВ

Abstract

The work is devoted to the virtual simulation of a sheet roll working layer formation at a technological stage “casting-solidification”. To form a virtual model of a roller mould pouring and foundry solidification there was used a computer modeling system (CMS) which included initial and boundary conditions for a roller mould pouring process with highalloy cast iron in the field of centrifugal force action. The distribution of a metal working layer along an inner surface of a rotating mould at different technological parameters: mass of highalloy cast iron, its density, temperature and pouring velocity, temperature of metal and non-metal parts of a mould at the initial point of time, modes of rotation and conditions of mould cooling and others were investigated. It is established that under the influence of centrifugal forces a free surface of liquid melt obtains a parabolic form. The influence of basic technological parameters upon the vertex position of a paraboloid of revolution of highalloy liquid melt z0 is revealed. It is shown in the paper that it stipulates for the unevenness of a working layer value along a roller barrel. As a result of computations it is obtained that the value of a working layer at lower flanks of barrels is higher than that of upper sides. The average value of such an exceeding makes 0.012 m. As a result of a simulation analysis of a foundry formation process at different technological parameters it is determined that the distance increase between the vertex of a paraboloid of revolution and the metal area investigated raises the working layer evenness along a roller barrel 3.6 times. Hence, the increase of capacity for work of a rolling tool is expected. The results of investigations presented are basic for the works for the increase of centrifugal roller servicing characteristic increase.
