Mechanical Principles

The principle pf cross wedge rolling is the continuous local deformation of cylindrical billets between the dies of two rolls.
The rolled workpiece has the same shape as the bottom groove of the die which is installed on the rolls of the mill , and rotates in the same direction under the driving of the rolls, driving the circular billet to rotate in the opposite direction.
The billet is radially compressed and deformed in the wedge, so that the shape of the rolled workpiece is the same as that of the bottom groove of the mold

Advantages

Environmentally Sustainable:
The implementation of wedge cross rolling technology eliminates the impact and noise associated with metal forming processes. This has greatly improved the working environment by reducing the negative environmental impact
High Precision:
Wedge cross rolling technology ensures that metal fiber streamlines are continuously distributed along the product’s appearance, resulting in a higher level of accuracy. The grain size of the metal is also further refined, which enhances the mechanical properties of the product.
Automated:
The entire production process, from feeding the workpiece to forming, surface finishing, and final rolling forming, is entirely automated, without the need for any manual intervention. This ensures a consistent level of quality throughout the production process.
High Efficiency:
Wedge cross rolling technology is known for its exceptional production efficiency, which is 2-5 times higher than other techniques. Customized molds can be designed to produce one or two pieces at a time, based on the unique characteristics of the workpiece.
Cost-Effective:
Wedge cross rolling technology offers excellent cost savings compared to traditional manufacturing methods due to the consistency between the shape of the rolled workpiece and the bottom groove shape of the mold. This results in a higher level of control over the workpiece’s dimensions, which can reduce production costs by at least 10%-30%.
Material Saving:
Wedge cross rolling machines provide high accuracy, typically within a ±1mm range, ensuring regular and uniform workpieces. The forging die experiences uniform stress, resulting in extended die life and reduced material waste.
