Theoretic and technological aspects of thread rolling

Abstract

In this contribution is introduced thread rolling method by means of rolling tools applied on universal machine tool. The thread is regarded as a constructional-technological element of engineering parts such as plugs, shafts, guide-bolts, etc. Rolling process is realized in a technological rolling system where on the start of the process is semi-product and on the output is rolled thread. We have done analysis regarding to requirements on material properties, shape a dimension of an initial semi-product for rolling. Reached parameters of rolled threads are quantified and circumstantiated by results of experiments. The contribution contains practical recommendation concerning thread rolling usage in a manufacturing process of engineering parts.
