Abstract
Production of multi-rifled seamless steel tubes employing cold draw process using multi-rifled mandrel is quite a modern technology. The important characteristic of the tube drawing process, unlike the tube with internal rifling, is the corner filling which influences the dimension accuracy of the internal shape of the tube. In this study, the influence of drawing tool dimensions and mandrel shape on to final rifling filling was investigated. Draw process has been simulated by using the three-dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method (FEM) by using DEFORM 3D software. The results of numerical simulation show that the shape of drawing tools and process conditions have a significant influence on the forming process and final shape and properties of the workpiece.
