description The hollow axle is the key basic component of high-speed trains. How to realize its production with short process and high-quality precision plastic forming is the frontier of current research and a major problem to be solved. On the basis of analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the existing forging process of the hollow axle, this paper expounds the principles and characteristics of multi-wedge synchrostep cross-wedge rolling (MSCWR) technology, multi-roll cross-wedge rolling (MCWR) technology, three-roll skew rolling (TRSR) technology, and tandem flexible skew rolling (TFSR) technology in detail, and discusses the feasibility and key technical problems of these technologies to form the hollow axle. It is concluded that tandem flexible skew rolling (TFSR) technology has the advantages of short process, high quality, high efficiency, energy saving, and material saving, and this technology is the development direction of precision plastic forming of the hollow axle. The research results provide technical guidance and research directions for promoting global high-speed rail development.
