Metal Flow in Rotary Splitting of Circular Disk

An experimental study of rotary splitting of circular disk was conducted to survey the effect of forming parametars on the metal flow in rotary spritting. It was found that the radial force Fr increases with the increase in the initial blank thickness t0, the feed rate of roller v and the apex angle of forming roller α. It was also found that the length of the straight part of formed V-shaped profile ls increases with the increase in the initial blank thickness t0 and the apex angle of forming roller α.
