Abstract

The work aims to study the rolling forming technology of inner groove rings to improve the processing quality of inner groove rings. Based on the theory of annular rolling, a radial-axial rolling motion model of the inner groove ring was established, and key parameters such as core roller speed and taper roller speed were optimized by ABAQUS simulation software, combined with the magnitude and distribution of stress and strain, cross section forming, equivalent plastic strain value and its standard deviation. The results showed that when the feed rate of the upper and lower taper rollers was 0.3 mm/s, the pit defects in the cross section of the ring could be effectively avoided. With the increase of the feed rate of the core roller, the equivalent plastic strain of the ring gradually increased, and the standard deviation of the equivalent plastic strain gradually decreased, that was, the grain of the rolled product became finer. In conclusion, this study provides a theoretical basis and simulation support for the rolling process of high-performance inner groove rings, and provides a valuable research direction for further optimizing the processing quality of rings.
