Abstract

The reducing rate distribution is critical for the quality and precision of the final pipe during the process of stretch-reducing of the seamless pipe. The inhomogeneous deformation of the pipe may occur if the reducing rate distribution is improper. This paper analyzed the trend of the reducing rate distribution in terms of metal flow and put forward a “three-point and two-section converged” correction theory based on relevant research. In order to verify the theory, the finite element model is established according to the results obtained from the modified model. The simulation is accomplished successfully, and the cross-section of the pipe is evenly reduced with the longitudinal metal flowing uniformly. The result from the experiment is consistent with that from the simulation, which shows the rationality of this theory, providing a new method for the reduction rate allocation.
