Effects of Key Simulation Parameters on Conical Ring Rolling Process

This paper established 3D coupled thermo-mechanical finite element simulation model of a conical ring rolling process. Three simulation experiments were designed and performed. The effects of key simulation parameters such as mass scaling factor, time scaling factor and remeshing sweeps per increment on simulation time and volume change of conical ring were investigated and analyzed. The reasonable values of simulation parameters in conical ring rolling process were determined for decreasing simulation time and simultaneously reducing finite element simulation error.
