In this paper, a numerical analysis of the cold thread-rolling process using flat dies is presented as a function of the die geometry design. Five die geometries with different threading and finishing ratios were modelled to induce different screw deformation rates. An analytical method was proposed by the authors to design die geometries as a function of screw roll rotation. Screw geometry accuracy, induced stress, and die wear were selected to compare the tested geometries. The results showed that three screw rotations in the threading step were sufficient to guarantee good geometry accuracy. Moreover, the results highlighted that die wear is the most affected parameter among all the tested geometries. Finally, a new solution was proposed by the authors to obtain uniform wear and reduce the die length.
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.
