ANALYSIS OF THE HELICAL-WEDGE ROLLING PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A WORKHOLDING BOLT

摘要

The paper describes an example of application of the helical-wedge rolling process for producing a workholding bolt. The design of this new metal forming technique is discussed and the tools used therein are described. This rolling process was numerically simulated and found to be correct. The strain and temperature distributions in the workholding bolt as well as the variation of forces and rolling moments are presented.
