Finite element analysis on process of rolling aluminium tube under tension

Jianhua Hu

Abstract

The rolling tube process of three-roll single stand mill is simulated with large-scale nonlinear finite-element software ANSYS/LS-DYNA.The effects of front tension and back tension on rolling force,mandrel axial friction and metal elongation are analyzed.It provides a theoretic reference for the groove design of continuous mill and the adjustment of roll speed.
