Abstract

The rotary tube piercing (RTP) is the first process of making seamless tube after producing the desired alloy ingot. There are several ways to make a seamless tube, one of the most common being RTP. This approach covers a wide range of processes that are categorized according to the number and shape of the rollers. On the other hand, each of these types has designed guides in the output and input of the piercing process. In this article, a new design of input and output guide for all types of rollers have been examined and simulated. Thus, three specimens including Diescher and Conical rollers were considered with 3 and 2 numbers, respectively. Results including torque, total force, temperature distribution and strain were extracted using FEM simulation. The results obtained through simulation are more in line with the experimental results obtained from previous research. While showing the successful performance of the output and input guides of the RTP process, the results indicate that the 3-roller Diescher type RTP has the most suitable arrangement for seamless tube production.
