Transverse Wedge Rolling Process and Design of Roller Profile for Non-Symmetric Shafts

The shaping by transverse wedge rolling for counter shaft of auto transition which involves the rolling process, design and manufacture of roller profile, accuracy and quality of rolled pieces has been analysed comprehensively and the benefit achieved. In view of the features of its non-symmetric shape and single piece rolling, the questions of how to make the axial forces balanced and how to roll a sharp corner on the inward step are raised. A practical calculation method provides a good and practical experience for further application of the transverse wedge rolling is proposed.
