Abstract:
Radial-shear rolling (RSR) of titanium alloy billets was realized in a three-high rolling mill. Experimental rolling was simulated using DEFORM software. The purpose was to reveal how stress-strain state parameters, grain structure and hardness vary along the billet's radius in the stationary stage of the RSR process. It was also the goal to establish a relation between stress state parameters, hardness and grain structure. Changes in the accumulated strain and the stress triaxiality were established by computer simulation. Hardness and grain size changes were obtained after experimental rolling. The novelty aspect is that both computer simulation and experimental rolling showed that there is a ring-shape area with lowered strength in the billet's cross-section. The radius of the ring-shape area was predicted as a result of the research.
