Abstract:

In order to optimize the equipment for spin-forming and to lay a foundation for the selection of roller working surface and forming parameters , the traditional roller working surface of tubular-shaped workpiece and the characteristics of the spin-forming for cup-shaped thin-walled inner gear are analyzed , and a 3D finite element elastoplastic model is established by using the MSC. Marc software. Then , numerical simulations of the gear spin-forming under different working surfaces are carried out. Moreover , the influence of working surface on the formability of inner gear spinning is investigated. The results indicate that , for the step-type roller, large roundness radius and small forming angle contribute to the spinning of inner gear , and that the quality of spun workpiece is at its best when the circular-type roller is used.

Key words: spin-forming, rectangular inner meshing gear, roller, working surface, numerical simulation
