Abstract

This study investigates the problem of concavity formation on the ends of parts manufactured on CNC skew rolling mills. Numerical modeling and Taguchi method were used to determine the effects of the main parameters of skew rolling (i.e., forming angle, skew angle, reduction ratio, temperature, steel grade, dimeter ratio, velocity ratio) on the depth of concavities formed on the product ends. The simulations showed that the only parameter to have a significant impact on the concavity depth was the reduction ratio. The FEM results were then used to establish equations for calculating concavity depth and allowance for excess material with concavity. For more universality, the established equations took into account the billet diameter. The experimental validation showed high agreement between the numerical and the experimental concavity depths.
