Using finite element analysis to roll-form tubes

By: Karan Shah, Yingyot Aue-u-lan, and Taylan Altan, Contributing Writers

Roll forming is a common method for producing steel tubes. It is a continuous process in which a strip is guided through several sets of rolls that form the strip into the desired shape. After the final shape is achieved, tube edges are welded together to form a closed section. After the welding operation, the tube is sized through another set of rolls to obtain the required diameter.
