Abstract

Cross wedge rolling is a complex and widely applied process to produce stepped shafts and preforms for the forging industry. The design of process tools represents a considerable challenge, and their geometric parameters control the tendency to generate defects. In this work, numerical simulation was applied to expose the specificities of the cross-wedge rolling tool designed. Finite element analysis was employed to define the optimum parameters for generating an axisymmetric preform for the forging process. In addition, the effects of the tool geometry parameters on product qualities was extensively discussed.
