Seamless Tube in Stretch Reducing 3-D Thermal-Mechanical Coupling Analysis

Abstract:

Based on rolling technology of stretch reducing mill group, by using large-scale general-purpose finite element analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, a 3D thermal mechanical coupled numerical calculation of stretch reducing process, stress field, strain field, temperature field and the distribution of wall thickness were obtained, as well as the distribution of asymmetrical metal deformation when pipe passing every mill. The results of numerical simulation provide a reasonable cause for uneven wall thickness distribution, guiding the design of stretch reducing process.
