Numerical Modeling of Skew Rolling Process of Twist Drills

Abstract

This paper presents the results of numerical modeling of skew rolling process of twist drills in four-segments configuration. On the basis of the conducted numerical simulation the results were obtained in a form of distributions: stress intensity, strain intensity, temperature and damage. The energetic parameters of the process were also given on the example of a drill Ø10 mm from high-speed steel HS6-5-2. The conducted numerical simulation confirmed the usefulness of the graphic method based on envelope theory in tools designing for skew rolling of twist drills.
