Cold profiled ring rolling is an advanced local plastic deformation technology widely used to precisely manufacture various complex seamless ring parts.It plays an important role in many industrial fields such as aeronautics,astronautics,automobile,bearings,etc.In the cold ring rolling process,the ring radius expands gradually with the increase of the feeding amount(i.e.rolling reduction),and the expanding deformation of the ring radius is closely related to the rolling reduction.It is very important to investigate the expanding deformation of ring radius for the precise control of ring dimensions and the design of feeding movement.In this paper,the relation between the expanding deformation of the ring radius and the rolling reduction in the stepped ring rolling process,a typical profiled ring rolling process,is analyzed by using analytical method.The results show that the growth amount of the filling depth of groove can't exceed the rolling reduction,that in the inner stepped ring rolling process,the curves of the outer radius and big inner radius with the rolling reduction are monotonous,ascending and concave,i.e.,the outer radius and big inner radius expand faster and faster with the increase of the rolling reduction,and that in the outer stepped ring rolling process,the curves of the inner radius and small outer radius with the rolling reduction are also monotonous,ascending and concave,i.e.,the inner radius and small outer radius expand faster and faster with the increase of the roll reduction.

由于钛合金对应变速率十分敏感,因此轧辊运动对钛合金大环热辗扩成形过程有重要作用。提出了相对速率vr的概念来表征轧辊运动参数的综合作用,涉及的运动参数包括驱动辊旋转速率n1和芯辊进给速率v,并且基于稳定成形条件采用解析方法确定了vr的合理取值范围。其次,运用动力显式有限元程序ABAQUS/Explicit 建立了可靠的钛合金大环热辗扩成形过程的热力耦合三维有限元模型。最后,采用有限云模拟方法,探究了vr对该成形过程的影响效应及其机制。结果表明;尽管通过减小n1来增大vr与通过增大v来增大vr 均使每转进给量△ hi 增大,但它们对成形过程的影响效应并非完全一致,比如对非均匀应变分布的影响;较大的vr有助于提高成形环件的端面质量和应变与温度分布的均匀性,但对成形力有不利影响。
