  • a number of prior-art mills for producing axially symmetric parts are known to comprise a working tool usually appearing as a pair of rotatable rolls fitted in rolling heads movable with respect to the billet under process by means of carriages which in turn are traversable along bedways.

  • the aforementioned devices are used for producing such parts as the wheels of railway stock which are comparatively simple in construction, from materials that are plastic within a wide temperature range, such as carbon steels.
  • One more prior-art device is known to comprise a top and a bottom roll for shaping the wall of a part, both rolls being driven in rotation in a definite sense and arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the walls of a disk-like billet with a possibility of synchronous up-and-down and radial motion imparted by appropriate drives, a rotatable mandrel supported on a stationary fixed vertical axle, a rotatable and vertically movable side roll arranged opposite to the rotatable mandrel and aimed at supporting the billet between said roll and the mandrel, a top and a bottom edging roll exerting vertical pressure on the billet surface and supported with a possibility of radial motion, radially movable guide rollers rotatable while getting in contact with the billet end face, and a number of rotatable backup rollers (cf. Japanese Patent Publication SHO - 61-11696).
  • the device mentioned before is suitable, due to a complicated kinematic features of the tool and provision
  • a further prior-art rolling mill is known to comprise bed- mounted rolling heads whose number is multiple of two, provided with drives imparting rotation, vertical and horizontal motion thereto, each of said rolling heads having its own carriage which is bed-mounted and independently movable in mutually square direction in a horizontal plane, and a mechanism for turning the rolling head in a horizontal plane.
  • the mill under consideration further comprises a working furnace into which the billet is placed after having been preheated in a preheater furnace.
  • the mill further comprises two coaxial billet holding units and a mechanical actuator imparting rotation thereto.
  • the working furnace has openings for the rolls and part of the billet holding unit to insert therein.
  • the billet holding unit comprises also a mandrel.
  • the required contour of the part being produced is formed when the rolls move from the center towards the periphery along a preset pathway (cf. RU Patent No. 2,031 ,753).
  • the mill is suitable for producing a number of parts, predominantly simple in shape, from hard-to-work alloys.
  • plastic working of such billets should be performed in a working furnace. This is necessary for increasing the plasticity of material and reducing its yield stress. At high temperatures the material features a low yield stress. Uncontrolled additional strain of the already worked billet areas occurs due to too a low yield stress, as well as owing to the fact that under superplastic conditions the dimensions of the strain center exceed substantially the area of direct action of the rolls on the billet under process. This in turn results ultimately in spoilage.
  • a mandrel to some extent restricts unintentional thinning of the billet; however, a mandrel can be used only in producing parts of a relatively small diameter having but a small difference in thickness between the already rolled billet areas and its area under rolling. Otherwise the plastically worked billet areas get thinned despite the use of a mandrel, this being due to the heavy rolling forces to be applied. That is why the mill in question is applicable only for producing disk-type axially symmetric parts from hard-to-work alloys, having relatively simple configuration and a diameter of from 500 to 800 mm, with large preset working allowances for fear of thinning the web during the rolling process.

  • Control of said means for establishing a temperature gradient in the billet under process may be effected against signals delivered by sensors of temperature of the billet under process, or by sensors of mechanical load applied to the rolling roll and the billet under process, or else by the billet contour sensors, the latter being reasonable to appear as optoelectronic ones.

  • the proposed mill improved as described above allows utilizing the properties of the aforementioned hard-to-work alloys that are mutually inconsistent as to the forming process.
  • the inconsistency resides in that at low working temperatures to produce a part having the required shape is virtually impossible due to high strain resistance, inadequate plasticity, and a small strain center, and conversely, at high working temperatures corresponding to high or superplastic conditions, low yield stress values, and a large strain center exceeding considerably the tool-to-billet contact area are causative of uncontrolled additional strain of the already formed billet portion. It is in both cases that difficulties are encountered in forming of parts from such alloys using the local straining technique.

  • Another approach to the construction arrangement of said device is based on cooling a preheated billet.
  • the device comprises a source of refrigerant communicating with the billet holding units through pipings, and the refrigerant is fed to the working furnace and cools the preheated billet from its center towards the periphery, which proves to be very efficient for a majority of billets being rolled.
  • the source of refrigerant may also communicate with the rolling heads. In such a case the cooling is very efficient due to the fact that the device is movable, thus intercooling the rolled billet portion located immediately after that being rolled. A number of combinations of said variants are practicable.

Operation of the tool and billet actuators or of the device for establishing a specified temperature gradient in the billet under process is corrected in accordance with the value of an error signal resulting from a change in the billet contour. Thus, for example, when the web of the disk being produced is liable to be distorted due to accidental disturbances, an appropriate correction is inserted in the tool position for the dimensions of the billet contour to remain within the tolerance limits.
  • the corresponding actuators are put on to increase strain resistance of the billet material by, e.g., a more intense feeding of refrigerant to the rolled-off billet portion or, if said operation proves to be ineffective or is limited by any other reasons, strain rate is decreased by reducing the tool and billet speed.

  • Violation of said relationships results in error signals delivered by the load sensors, against which an appropriate correction of operation of the actuators is performed.
