A three-di mensional rigid-plastic Finite element model(FEM) for cross wedge rolling of square billet was established by using DEFORM finite element software. The influence of forming angle, broadening angle and section shrinkage on the volume of one-sided blank head was analyzed based on orthogonal experiments of three factors and three levels. It is concluded that the influence degree of forming angle, section shrinkage and broadening angle on the volume of one-sided blank head decreases in turn, and the influence degree of corresponding process parameters in different sections is also different. The results of this study can provide references for expanding the types of cross wedge rolling billets and choosing reasonable process parameters in square billet rolling.
