Abstract

Tube spinning process is recognized as an effective process for fabricating of thin wall cylindrical parts, with precision tolerances, high surface quality and desired mechanical property. In this research, the influences of major parameters of thermomechanical tube spinning process such as preform thickness, percentage of thickness reduction, mandrel rotational speed, feed rate of rollers, solution treatment time and aging treatment time on surface roughness for fabricating of 2024 aluminum spun tubes using design of experiments are studied. Experimental data are analyzed by analysis of variance (Anova) and empirical models of surface roughnesses are developed. It is found that deeper percentage of thickness reduction with thicker preform thickness, slower feed rate of rollers and mandrel rotational speed and higher solution treatment time and aging treatment time are advantageous for obtaining smoother surface.
