In this article, the results of numerical calculations and experimental work of the cross-wedge rolling (CWR) processes of hollowed shafts, realized with mandrels and without them, are presented. The results of numerical calculations for the CWR process of three rolls were also provided. On the basis of the calculations it was stated that the method of forming with the use of three rolls is the most appropriate for forming of hollowed shafts. This because in this process there is no excessive and irremovable ovalization of the normal cut, often observed in the process of rolling with two tools.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
