FEM Analysis of Loads and Torque in a Skew Rolling Process for Producing Axisymmetric Parts

Skew rolling is a metal forming technique which can be used for producing stepped axles and shafts. This paper investigates seventeen cases of rolling at varying process parameters by the finite element method. As a result, it is possible to determine the effect of the forming angle α, skew angle Θ, linear velocity of the chuck, v, billet temperature, T, rotational speed of the rolls, n, reduction ratio, δ and friction factor, m, on axial load (acting on the chuck), radial load (acting on the roll in the radial direction) and torque. The results will be used when designing a laboratory stand for skew rolling which will be constructed at the Lublin University of Technology.
