Finite Element Simulation Analysis of Multi-Stands Three-Roller Cold Rolling Process for Double Metal Composite Seamless Steel Tube

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of the Y-type three-roller two stands cold rolling stainless steel/carbon steel double metal composite seamless steel tube process was conducted through the finite element analysis of the elastic-plastic by applying the MSC.MARC software. Based on the numerical simulation, the character of stress and strain distribution parameters during the Y-type three-roller two stands cold rolling were obtained by the finite element analysis, and acquired the section pass deformation figure. The distribution of the axial stress, circle stress and radial stress were drawn below the Y-type mill along the circle. The mechanism of the tube cold rolling process and the effect of the forming steel tube both the diameter and wall thickness accuracy were explained according to the stress distribution. The results of the research can be applied to the design of the technical parameters in the forming process.
