2D Simulation and Validation of Rotary Tube Piercing Process

摘要

The aim of this work is to design and to improve a FEM model able to correctly define the influence of the parameters affecting the hole formation during the rotary piercing process(Mannesmann process).The software used to perform the simulations was a commercial FEM code,Deform 2D.The technological data introduced in the simulative model have been furnished by TENARIS-DALMINE S.p.A.Company,partner in this research.The results obtained in this research have been considered valid and helpful by the company.
