Abstract:

The process of radial reduction, the design of radial-reducing devices and schemes of the action of stresses in different areas of the deformation zone are considered. The construction of the improved version of the radial-reducing device is proposed. The total force in the established process of radial reduction is determined by summing up the elementary forces acting in areas of the deformation zone. The analysis of the obtained formula for calculating is given. It is shown, that the value of total force of the radial reduction depends on the billet diameters at the entrance, neutral and out-put sections of the deformation zone and neutral angle.

Keywords: radial reduction, axisymmetric parts, striker, total force
