SHEAR SPINNING PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Efforts were directed toward establishing a knowledge of the fundamental aspects of the shear spinning process. The work entailed the shear spinning of approximately 900 preforms and 6 preforms materials. Each preform and its resulting as-spun piece received a total of more than three dozen dimensional measurements of the I.D. and wall thickness. The preform alloys included 6061 Al alloy, Timken 17-22A(s) alloy steel, Type 321 stainless steel, N-155 and Inconel X high temperature alloys, and 6% Al 4% V-Ti alloy. The dimensions, composition, and metallurgical characteristics of the preform alloys are shown. Also described is the tentative terminology for the shear spinning process and the design and construction of the machine used for the program. (Author)
