Non-uniformity of deformation as an important factor of ovality formation in the billets for railway wheels at free upsetting with figured dies

摘要

The paper presents research results of non-uniformity of deformation as important factor of ovality formation in the billets for railway wheels at free upsetting with figured dies. For the numerical modeling of the upsetting process the FORGE computer software, which based on finite element method was used. The physical modelling of the process of free upsetting was carried out on the lead samples, on the universal testing machine GMS-50.
