A research on thickness distribution of oblique cone in dieless shear spinning

摘要

In order to shorten the preparation period, dieless shear spinning is widely used in various industrial fields with advantage of economy of materials and easy control. Controlling roller path is one of the main methods for changing thickness distribution. A new discretization method is proposed by theoretical derivation in dieless shear spinning. It will generate a virtual axis by inclining the flange of the workpiece. And, the roller path is derived for spinning machine combined with the sine law in shear spinning. The derived path should be applied after the range of forming reaches the certain height. The thickness distribution of formed workpiece is basically in agreement with the theoretical value. It also illustrates that roller nose radius and axial feed will influence the surface quality.
