| This study proposes a new method for rolling steel balls using spiral discs. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the proposed method could be used to produce balls with a diameter of 63 mm, as well as to determine the effect of tool geometry and the number of billets on process stability, force, and the energy parameters of the rolling process. Numerical simulations were performed using Forge® NxT v.4.0. The billet for rolling was made of C60 steel and preheated to 1050 °C. The following cases of ball rolling were simulated: Ball rolling using flat discs with single, double, and triple spiral impressions made on their working surface, and ball rolling using tapered discs for two different configurations of the working system. The rolling process was examined in terms of ball shape, internal defect formation, temperature distribution, as well as force and energy parameters. The results showed that the rolling process conducted using tapered discs and by flat discs with single and double impressions produced correctly shaped balls without internal cracks. It was also found that discs with double impressions were more advantageous than the single-impression ones in terms of energy consumption, while the use of discs with triple spiral impressions led to higher tool load and reduced product quality despite the high efficiency of these discs. The system comprising one disc with an external conical working surface and one disc with an internal conical working surface yielded the best results with the lowest energy consumption and power demand. The findings of this study demonstrate that ball rolling using spiral discs is a promising alternative to standard skew rolling methods |
