Abstract

The profile rings with outer groove are widely used in advanced technological fields. To improve the filling accuracy of the cross-section profile of profile ring with outer groove, the deformation behaviors and filling features of the ring are explored. The deformation coefficient of the cross-section profile per revolution for profile ring with outer groove rolling process is introduced, and the change law of the deformation coefficient of the cross-section profile per revolution for profile ring with outer groove under different influencing factors is revealed. And then, the mathematical model of the deformation coefficient of the cross-section profile per revolution for profile ring with outer groove is established. Then, a prediction model of the ultimate forming dimension for profile ring with outer groove rolling process is proposed, and the specific application of the ultimate forming dimension model is clarified. Finally, the target forged ring of the profile ring with outer groove is designed to verify the ultimate forming dimension model by simulation and experiment. The results show that the prediction model can predict the rolling size of the profile ring with outer groove well. This study can provide a guide for the design and optimization of ring forgings with outer grooves in industrial production.
