Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of energy-force parameters of combined process "rolling-equal-channel angular pressing". The objectives of the work were to determine the forces of rolling and pressing in the deformation by this combined method. The strength calculation of the matrix and the experiment on deformation of AISI 6063 aluminum samples were carried out. During the experiment, the force values were recorded using a tensometric station. The results of the strength analysis showed that this matrix design is suitable for creating an experimental stand of combined process "rolling – equal-channel angular pressing", since the calculated safety margin is sufficient to implement the pressing under extreme conditions. Analysis of the results of force measurement showed that rolling forces at all stages of deformation exceed the corresponding pressing forces, which is a necessary condition for the implementation of this combined process. The obtained results can be used in the design of experimental stands that implement investigated combined process. At the same time, the used tensometric technique for studying strength characteristics is suitable for the case of calibrated rolls.
