On Features of Modeling of Radial-Shear Rolling of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Rods Using Deform-3D Software Complex
A finite element model of the radial-shear rolling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy rods using Deform-3D complex has been formed and stress-strained condition and thermal state of workpiece metal have been investigated. The problem parameters in the Deform-3D, to ensure the adequacy of the simulation and the desired accuracy of the results, have been defined. It is shown that stability of the solution is achieved when the number of finite elements is at least 130,000 and the friction factor value is equal to 0,99. A strain field in the workpiece, showing the depth of active deformation to half the radius of the metal has been obtained, this corresponds to the theoretical and experimental data.
