Intelligent simulation for real-timely force-controlled radial-axial rolling process of supersized aluminium alloy rings

摘要

In view of the control requirement of the rolling force for the supersized aluminum alloy ring rolling and the low efficiency of the past trial-and-error simulation and optimization method, in this work, an intelligent real-timely force-controlled finite element (FE) model has been developed under ABAQUS/Explicit software. During the calculation based on this model, the rolling path can automatically adjust in a real-time manner to satisfy the control target of the rolling force. This work achieves quick planning of the rolling path which not only satisfies but also adequately utilizes the rolling force limit.
