Abstract

In order to break through the limitation of traditional axisymmetric spinning, a discretization method is made to form an oblique cone by die-less shear spinning technique. Due to the characteristics of asymmetric spinning, the roller feed should harmonize with the spindle rotation, and the roller path is derived through a discretization method. The thickness variation of oblique cone in different directions is coincident with the sine relation in axisymmetric shear spinning. The surface quality, especially the surface smoothness (the distribution of arrises) and surface roughness of the spun part, is discussed by analyzing the roller motion and important spinning parameters, and a smaller axial feed rate f and a smaller angle increment α can improve the surface quality.
