Abstract
The rotary straighteners for straightening round bars and tubes are discussed. The author found that the residual stress distribution in the bar straightened by the rotary straightener represents an alternate vortex of tensile and compressive stress zones around the center of the bar, which is not affected by the repeated rotary bending. To obtain better straightness, therefore, the bar has to be bent more severely at the point under the rolls, and receive more multiple rotary bending near the outlet in the straightener. For the rotary plastic bending of the bar, the direction of the bending moment does not coincide with that of the bending of the bar, and there is some angle between both directions, and therefore power is consumed for the rotary plastic bending of the bar. From this point of view, the author derived a formula to calculate the power required for straightening of the bar.
