Theoretical Basis and Technology Development of the Combined Process of Asymmetric Rolling and Plastic Bending

Abstract

The article focuses at technology development of the vertical asymmetric rolling and combined process of vertical asymmetric rolling and plastic bending. It has been shown that vertical asymmetric rolling peculiarity relates to the presence of a mixed zone, in which friction forces on contact roll surfaces are directed are differently. Experimental research showed serious drawbacks in the rolling technology caused by the growth of dynamic loads arising at the moment of plate contact with the bending roller. For solving the problem it was proposed to make the roller position motile to allow its movement along the required trajectory. The application of the motile roller helps to reduce dangerous torque differentiation at working rolls by the value of 1,5-2,5 compared with the rigidly fixed roller. The most effective bending roller trajectory is a second-order curve that is convex parabola.
