Abstract
In the present investigation, a previously developed three-dimensional finite-element model for the cross-wedge rolling (CWR) process has been used to characterize the workpiece material stress and deformation behavior. Particular attention has been paid to the center and mid-radius points of the billet where internal defects (i.e. internal cracks and porous voids) often occur. Several failure criteria in the solid mechanics theory are summarized. The effect of three important CWR parameters, namely the forming angle, the area reduction, and the friction coefficient, on the field variables has been investigated, including the first principal stresses, maximum shear stresses, etc. A total of 14 rolling conditions are analyzed for the billet material aluminum alloy 1100. After initially verifying the numerical results, several tendencies for the CWR process, as related to failure, are ascertained and discussed.
