“…Considering small elongated forgings (with lengths up to 200 mm), very efficient rolling processes can also be applied in skew rolling mills equipped with rolls with screw blanks [ 11 , 12 ]. These methods allow for the production of (most often) semifinished products for further mechanical processing [ 13 ]. They are also used as semifinished products for die forging [ 14 ] or extrusion [ 15 ].…”

The paper presents chosen aspects of the skew rolling process of hollow stepped products with the use of a skew rolling mill designed and manufactured at the Lublin University of Technology. This machine is characterized by the numerical control of spacing between the working rolls and the sequence of the gripper axial movement, which allows for the individual programming of the obtained shapes of parts such as stepped axles and shafts. The length of these zones and the values of possibly realizable cross-section reduction and obtained outlines are the subject of this research paper. The chosen results regarding the influence of the technological parameters used on the course of the process are shown in the present study. Numerical modelling using the finite element method in Simufact Forming, as well as the results of experimental tests performed in a skew rolling mill, were applied in the conducted research. The work takes into account the influence of cross-section reduction of the hollow parts and the feed rate per rotation on the metal flow mechanisms in the skew rolling process. The presented results concern the obtained dimensional deviations and changes in the wall thickness determining the proper choice of technological parameters for hollow parts formed by the skew rolling method. Knowledge about the cause of the occurrence of these limitations is very important for the development of this technology and the choice of the process parameters.

“…The contact surface of the formed material and tools was described by the model of constant friction. Due to the fact that the compression process was conducted in hot working conditions, the friction factor assumed in the calculations was relatively high, m = 0.8 [14,15]. Moreover, it was assumed that the heat transfer coefficient for the couple material–tools was equal 20 kW/(m 2 ·K), whereas for material–environment, it was 0.35 kW/(m 2 ·K).…”

This article presents the results of theoretical–experimental testing of the process of rotational compression of hollow stepped shafts. The advantages of the technology and the potential area of its application were discussed. Further on, the limits of the rotational compression technology, preventing the manufacturing of high-quality products, were presented. The research was conducted on the basis of numerical modelling using the finite element method in Simufact Forming, as well as the results of experimental tests performed in a forging machine for rotational compression. On the basis of the results obtained, it can be stated that the process of rotational compression of hollow stepped shafts can be hindered by the following phenomena: uncontrolled slip, deformation of the semi-finished product wall, twisting of the formed steps, material cracking, and deformation of the cross-section of the formed steps. The possibility of those hindrances occurring depends heavily on the assumed technological parameters of the process. For this reason, knowledge of the cause of occurrence of those limitations is vital for the development of the technology and the choice of the process parameters.

“…As far as mass production is concerned, metal forming offers the most advantages due to short manufacturing time, low material waste and high strength properties. Metal forming techniques for producing hollow parts include: • spinning [1,2], • standard forging [3,4], • rotary swaging [5,6], • extrusion [7], • rotary compression [8,9], • flanging [10,11], • sequential upsetting [12], • radial extrusion.…”

The paper presents a new metal forming process for producing two-step external flanges on hollow parts. With this method, the flange is extruded by a movable sleeve, which moves in the opposite direction to the punch. This reduces the phenomenon of buckling of the tube wall, which allows extruding flanges with relatively large volumes. The new method was applied to produce a two-step flange on the end of a tubular billet made of 6060 aluminum alloy. This cold metal forming process was designed based on numerical simulations and experimental tests. The effect of the basic technological parameters on metal flow was investigated and limitations of the process were identified. The experimental results confirmed the possibility of forming a two-step flange with a diameter that is approximately twice as big as the external diameter of the tubular billet.
