Abstract
Applying the rotary forging process (RFP) to the shaft-end riveting assembly of hub bearing units (HBU) is an important technological innovation with promising application prospect. Due to its advantages of stable pre-tightening, low cost and high integration, shaft-end riveting assembly have become a vital process in assembling the third generation HBU. However, due to the lack of systematic application research on RFP, there are still gaps between the domestic hub bearings and the imported products especially in terms of accuracy and consistency of performance. In the study, a numerical simulation platform (NSP) was adopted to simulate the assembling processes of HBU, in which the interference assembly, loading, and unloading of RFP were simulated with ABAQUS/Standard, ABAQUS/Explicit, and ABAQUS/Standard, respectively. The influence of processing parameters on product quality has been carried out by investigating several levels of feed displacement and feed rate, and relevant experimental research has also been conducted. It is found that the experimental results are in consistence with the numerical simulation results, demonstrating that the NSP adopted could be an alternative in determining and optimizing the processing parameters of RFP.
