influence of process parameters on the forming mechanics parameters of the three-roll skew rolling forming of the railway hollow shaft with 1 : 5

This paper presents the new technology applied in a three-roll skew rolling railway hollow shaft. The three-roll skew rolling forming simulation is conducted in railway hollow shaft with 1 : 5. The rotation condition of the three-roll skew rolling is deduced and the rolling force and rolling torque are calculated and validated. The influence of process parameters on mechanics parameter is analyzed, from which it concludes that the mechanics parameters of the skew rolling are obviously smaller than those acquired by the cross-wedge rolling when rolling the same size of the railway hollow shaft. The results of this study lay a theoretical foundation for the realization of accurately forming the three-roll skew rolling railway hollow shaft with short process and low cost.
