Analysis of Intermittent Metal Forming with Planetary Rollers by Numerical Simulation

Abstract. Processing profiles through form tapping process with planetary rollers is used in industry, especially in the automotive industry. Even though this process exists for several decades, few studies dealing with this topic were published. The main objective of this paper was to determine the influence of the two process parameters on three important values which influence the quality of profiles: the rolling force, the state of stresses in the deformed material and on the rolling time. The material used was carbon steel AISI 1015.
