Abstract

Now, metal spinning is no longer limited to axisymmetric parts. Die-less spinning for non-circular section parts is on the rise for its advantages of low cost and high flexibility. However, the wall thickness decreasing has always been the problem of die-less spinning. In view of this, the ball-crown-shape roller is adopted to form the square section cone without die. The calculation method of roller path based on the ball-crown-shape roller is proposed and carried out by a 5-axis CNC spinning machine. Meanwhile, the finite element model is established to analyze the stress and strain states during spinning. According to the results of the experiment and simulation, the wall thickness of the parts is barely reduced for the sheet under the radial compressive stress as well as circumferential compressive stress. The wall angle of the experimental part is greater than the designed cone angle. The reason for the flange wrinkling is analyzed, and some preventive measures are put forward accordingly.
