Theoretical Research on the Pipe Rolling Process in Order to Determine the Deformation of the Pipe Billet and the Load on the Rolling Tool

Abstract

The technology of the shell case rolling into the rough pipe on an automatic mill of the pipe-rolling plant PRP 220 was considered. In case of the pipe rear end stability losing for a special thin-walled assortment of rolling products the theoretical research was carried out based on the FEM. As the result of the research the nature of such flaw as a "fin" on the end of the pipe was investigated, the evaluation of the loading on the automatic mill for the PRP 220 was obtained for different process parameters. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
