Abstract
Spinning process is investigated to reveal the mechanism of square cross-section spinning without mandrel. The finite element model with the roller path formula as a boundary condition is established. Forge3D software is used to simulate the spinning process, and the accuracy of the finite element model is verified through experiment. From the stress–strain field, the residual stress on the surface of the workpiece is small after square cross-section cone hollow spinning and the maximum deformation locates on the middle part of the slope surfaces of the workpiece. The strain field distribution and the same Δr in different rotation round are the cause of the slight curvature that appears on the cross-section edge. The wall thickness decreases after hollow spinning, and the upper wall thickness is larger than the lower part.
