Effects of Rotational Speed of Driver Roll on Hot Ring Rolling of 6061 Aluminum Alloy by 3D FE Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a 3D elastic-plastic and coupled thermo-mechanical FE model of radial ring rolling of 6061 aluminum alloy is developed, and the hot rolling process with different the rotational speed of driver roll n is simulated by using the dynamic explicit code ABAQUS/Explicit. The influence laws of the rotational speed of driver roll on the uniformity of strain and temperature distribution (STD), fishtail coefficient, roll force, contact area and roll moment are revealed respectively. One optimum n is obtained, under which SDT is relatively uniform; meanwhile, another optimum n is obtained, under which the quality of end-plane of the rolled ring is the best. The result can provide a valuable guideline to research and optimum of the hot ring rolling of aluminum alloys.
