Thermomechanical Analysis of a Helical-Wedge Rolling Process for Producing Balls

The paper presents a complete numerical model of a helical-wedge rolling process for producing balls. The model was designed in Finite Element Method (FEM)-based Forge NxT v.1.1 that enables the simulation of both forming and separating balls. A comparison of numerical results with experimental find...
