In any operating helical rolling mill, deformation occurs under the influence of intrafocal axial compression (i.e., with backing), leading to significant transverse deformation. Consequently, metal shaping occurs under conditions of sign-variable radial deformation, which consumes a significant part of the power expended during rolling. As a result, the implementation of the rolling process under the influence of intrafocal axial extension (i.e., with tension) creates the most favorable conditions for the flow of metal in the deformation zone. The proposed technological solution opens up prospects for the use of swaging and rolling mills for screw rolling in producing continuous rolled products and specialized pipes in a wide range of sizes and grades. This article presents the results of the first experimental testing of a new helical rolling process performed on a mini-mill 14–40 under the conditions of the research and production center of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS.” The experiment confirmed the operability of the new technology of helical rolling as a whole.

These factors should be taken into account when determining the chemical composition of the wire. This is a challenging and multifactorial task related to optimizing the chemical composition of the wire in order to ensure compliance with all of the aforementioned requirements. The formation of cold cracks in welded joints of steels that have undergone electroslag remelting can be prevented by increasing the austenitic stability of the weld metal. This can be achieved by increasing the nickel content in the welding wire. However, this results in a decrease in the resistance of the weld metal to the formation of hot cracks and a reduction in hot ductility. This makes the technology of metal rolling for wire manufacture more challenging. To enhance the resistance of the weld metal to the formation of hot cracks, it is necessary to increase the chromium content in the welding wire. However, this approach results in an increase in the ferritic phase within the weld, which subsequently leads to a reduction in the resistance of the welded joint to the formation of cold cracks. The results of the research on the effect of the chemical composition of welding wire, when varying the Cr<sub>eq</sub>/Ni<sub>eq</sub> ratio, on the indicators of technological strength were used to optimize the composition of the new welding wire. The experimental data on the properties of welded joints of high-strength steels made with a new welding wire demonstrated an advantage over serial joints manufactured with the Sv-08Kh20N9G7T grade wire. Furthermore, the studies of the welding aerosol showed a 6.6-fold reduction in the content of toxic manganese oxides when welding with the new wire in comparison to the conventional Sv-08Kh20N9G7T.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":702,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgist","volume":"68 6","pages":"820 - 827"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
