Preform design by the three-dimensional finite element method has been carried out for plain ring rolling and T-section profiled ring rolling. The application of the backward tracing scheme for preform design in ring rolling processes demonstrates, for the first time, the extension of the scheme int

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper; a three dimensional finite-element model for ring roiling modelling is described. An elastic plastic finite-element formulation bated upon the updated Lagrangian approach is employed to analyse the process and a special hybrid mesh model has been developed which significantly increase the accuracy and computational efficiency of the simulation. In addition to the friction-layer and the boundary surface techniques available in the finite-element program, some special methods are used to model the various tools involved in the process, namely the main roll, the mandrel and the guide rolls.
As an example of this approach, a three-dimensional analysis of a steel ring rolling operation is carried out. The deformation, strain and force parameters are analysed. Some flow defects such as fish-tailing are also well predicted.
