Abstract:

In this paper,a novel plowing /extrusion tool is proposed to develop a new compound forming technique of rolling-plowing /extrusion to machine outside 3-dimension integral fins on stainless steel tubes. The machining process is divided into two stages: to fabricate V-ribs by rolling and to machine 3-dimension integral fins on the V-ribs by plowing /extrusion. Moreover,the morphologies of the ribs and the fins under different processing conditions were experimentally analyzed,and the effect of the plowing /extrusion depth and feed rate on the fin height and pitch were investigated. The results show that the optimal fins are machined at a rolling depth of 1. 20mm,a plowing/extrusion depth of 0. 25 ~ 0. 45mm and a feed rate of 2. 16 ~3. 92mm/r.

Key words: enhanced heat transfer, stainless steel tube, integral fin tube, rolling, plowing/extrusion
