In Tube-end Spinning, “softening” of tube material with frictional heat generated at interface between die and tubular stock, is considered as the most important fundamental principle. And so, knowing about the forming temperature and effective heat to soften the tube material is required to discuss the formability for Tube-end Spinning. In this paper, the equation of mean temperature θ
m1 of material at forming portion, and effective heat
Q1 which is available for softening tube material during the forming are formulated. The results are written as below.
(1) The mean temperature θ
m1 increases according to the increase of die revolution and decreases according to the increase of the feeding rate of tubular stock.
(2) Effective heat
Q1 is proportional to the forming time and becomes larger according to die revolution increase, smaller according to feeding rate and die angle increase.
(3) Effective heat
Q1 is about 20-40% of total heat, and the amount of heat flowing into die is largest among of heat losses.
