Ductile Fracture Prediction in Cross-Wedge Rolling of Rail Axles
In the process of cross-wedge rolling, axial-symmetric forgings are formed using wedge tools. These tools may be flat- or roll-shaped. This article presents two methods of cross-wedge rolling of rail axles, traditional and multi-wedge, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Two cross-wedge r...

In the process of cross-wedge rolling, axial-symmetric forgings are formed using wedge tools. These tools may be flat- or roll-shaped. This article presents two methods of cross-wedge rolling of rail axles, traditional and multi-wedge, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Two cross-wedge rolling processes are modelled numerically using Simufact Forming. Numerical results are then verified by experiments performed on a flat wedge rolling mill. Results obtained with the two rolling methods are compared in terms of material fracture, force parameters, effective strain and thermal conditions during rolling. Results show that material fracture poses a serious problem in these rolling processes. It is found that the Cockcroft–Latham ductile fracture criterion does not predict material fracture correctly. Results demonstrate that the fracture of railway axles in cross-wedge rolling can be best predicted by the fracture criteria developed by Ayada, Brozzo, Ko, Rice and Tracey. |
