摘要: Marginal-restraint mandrel-free spinning is an advanced technology for manufacturing ellipsoidal heads with large diameter-thickness ratios. The effects of spinning parameters on the forming accuracy of ellipsoidal heads have been studied, and optimized spinning parameters have been obtained. The microstructure evolution of a workpiece is usually very complicated in the spinning process. In this work, the influence of spinning parameters on the microstructures of two-pass spun ellipsoidal heads is studied. It is found that the forming angle and feed rate of the first pass, angle between passes, and feed rate of the second pass significantly affect the microstructures. Meanwhile, the evolution rule of the microstructures near the inner and outer surfaces of the spun parts is almost consistent. A large forming angle, large angle between passes, or large feed rate of the second pass are beneficial to obtain uniform microstructures. A small or large feed rate of the first pass reduces the microstructure uniformity. To improve the microstructure uniformity between the inner and outer surfaces, the optimized spinning parameters are determined.
