Spinning Deformation Criteria of Thin-walled Tubular Part with Longitudinal Inner Ribs

摘要

As a successive and local plastic deformation process, backward ball spinning was applied for the purpose of producing thin-walled tubular parts with longitudinal inner ribs. According to the local plastic deformation theory, the application of yield criterion to the spinning process and the influence of the radial spinning force component on the formability of inner ribs were analyzed. Based on yield criterion and plastic mechanics, the stable flow rule of metal material and forming criteria of the inner ribs were obtained, and conformed to the experimented results so as to contribute greatly to improving the ball spinning process and optimizing the process variables, such as the diameter of ball, the reduction in a pass and the wall thickness of tubular blank, which have a significant influence on the formability of the inner ribs. The knowledge of the influence of the process variables such as the diameter of ball, the reduction in a pass and the wall thickness of tubular blank on the spinning process is essential to preventing the quality defects of the spun parts and obtaining the desired spun parts.
