Plastic Instability Criterion of Radial Ring Rolling

The ring is subjected to the combined action of rolling deformation and guide rolls in radial ring rolling process. If the rolling process parameters are designed unreasonably, the ring may be deformed unexpectedly or squashed to waste product. In this article, equation of ring’s bending moment in rolling process is developed based on the mechanical model. Then the stress of ring at any point is analyzed and the maximum stress is found out. The plastic instability criterion of radial ring rolling is also proposed based on the analyses above.
