Scholarcy highlights
- Ring rolling is a hot forming process used in the production of railway tyres, anti friction bearing races and different ring shaped work pieces for automotive energy production and aerospace applications
- Despite the benefits some problems still exist according to a correct selection of the process parameters
- In this work a FE model, based on Deform 3D software, was tested versus experimental results acquired from an industrial plant
- The accuracy of the FE model was analyzed through a dual comparison: by geometrical and by physical aspects
- A good agreement was found between experimental and numerical results for both comparisons and, as a consequence, this code could be used in order to investigate and optimize the process parameters that characterize the ring rolling process in a virtual not expensive environment
- The validated model will allow the studies of more environment-friend process configurations
