Simulation analysis and test of the spinning process of 304 stainless steel cylindrical parts

Abstract Taking the difference in wall thickness as the evaluation index, the simulation analysis of the spinning process of 304 stainless steel cylindrical parts is carried out. The influence of the roller nose radius, feed speed, and percent thickness reduction on the stress and strain of the roller is studied, and the optimum combination of process parameters is obtained. Through the spinning test, the stainless steel cylindrical parts with an outside diameter of 300.8 mm are successfully spun. After spinning forming and solution treatment, the tensile strength of stainless steel reaches 557~566 MPa, the yield strength reaches 220~232 MPa, and the elongation reaches 41.3%~42.5%.
