Influence Rules of Technological Parameters on End Quality in Closed Cross Wedge Rolling (CWR)

In order to raise the efficience of materials' utilization and realize the CWR without the stub bar, this paper will focus on the closed CWR forming shafts,applying finite element software DEFORM-3D to do numerical simulation calculation for the process and studying the end quality of shafts.This paper has obtained the influence rule of the forming angle α, broadening angle β, reduction of area ψ and billet diameter D four process parameters on the end quality of the closed type CWR .The research results has showed that the length of concavity goes up along with the forming angle decrease;the same as the broadening angle; while the length of concavity goes up along with the billet diameter increase.and the reduction of area ψ has made a vital influence on the end quality of shafts,this conclusion has made a solid theoretical foundation and referential value for closed CWR .
