Spinning Process Test and Optical Topography Measurement Technology for the Shell with Longitudinal and Latitudinal Inner Ribs by Wei Liang, Qiongying Lv, Lin Guan, Zhigang Xing

“…The stress distribution and strain distribution of the inner and outer surfaces during the spin-forming process are determined, and the orthogonal test method is used to determine the optimization process test parameters. The influence of the main process parameters on the wall thickness difference of the inner rib shell is obtained by the range analysis: wall thickness reduction rate > rotary wheel feed speed > rotor working angle (arranging according to their influences). …”
