Wedge Rolling
Procedure
Start the Transverse Wedge Rolling simulation or ensure that the rolling setup is ready for operation.
Select a round billet of appropriate material as the workpiece for the rolling process.
Choose the type of Transverse Wedge Rolling configuration, such as two-roll, three-roll, or planetary rolling system.
Set the geometric parameters of the wedge-shaped tools or rolls, including wedge angle and profile.
Adjust the rotational speed of the rolls or the motion of flat tools as per the process requirements.
Position the billet correctly between the rolls or flat tools before initiating the rolling operation.
Start the rolling process and allow the billet to rotate while being gradually deformed by the wedge-shaped profiles.
Observe the gradual application of force and the material flow during the deformation process.
Continue the process until the desired surface shape or reduction is achieved on the billet.
Stop the simulation and record the final shape, surface features, and any observations related to deformation quality.
