Physical Simulation of Grooved Axis Warm Surface Rolling

Abstract

The experimental design and implementation, as well as the fatigue life test of the steel C45 grooved axis warm surface rolling, have been carried out in this paper. The focus of the experiment is to study the effect of the different amount of rolling reduction and surface temperature on the fatigue life of the specimen axis.The experimental specific condition is at different temperature 20°C, 100°C, 200°C and 300°C with surface rolling reduction 0.03 mm, 0.06mm, 0.10mm, and 0.15mm respectively. The simulation results showed that the warm surface rolling process can significantly improve the fatigue life of the specimen axis; and there exist a corresponding optimum rolling reduction, in this case the fatigue life of the specimen axis achieves maximum, at different warm rolling temperatures. Finally the preferred processing parameter at 300°C with 0.15mm surface rolling reduction is obtained. This study has certain reference value for steel C45 the crankshaft undercut surface rolling.
