| Abstract Scope |
Production of large-diameter induction bends is a complex thermomechanical process characterized by numerous process parameters and significant uncertainty regarding the thermal and deformation conditions experienced by the material during bending. As a result, the development of induction bending technology is a challenging and nontrivial task. This challenge is further complicated by the high production cost and relatively low production volume of induction bends, which limit opportunities for full-scale industrial trials and result in a limited amount of industrial data available for statistical analysis of the relationships among steel composition, process parameters, and final product properties.
To address these challenges, physical simulation was employed in this study to support both steel composition development and process optimization. Prior to the simulation work, the thermal and deformation conditions of the industrial induction bending process were experimentally measured, and the corresponding thermomechanical schedules were reproduced using the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. |
