Sustainable Process Design for Special Welded Profiles via Roll Forming Compression

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explores the sustainable design and optimization of processes for creating special cross-section welded profiles using the roll forming compression method. This technique is recognized for its efficiency in producing complex profiles while minimizing material waste, making it a valuable approach to environmentally friendly manufacturing. The research examines key factors such as material selection, process settings, and welding techniques to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to simulate the forming process, helping to predict the profiles’ behavior and ensure they meet structural and dimensional requirements. Experimental tests were conducted to validate the simulation results and assess the performance of the profiles under practical conditions. The findings highlight the potential for saving both materials and energy while maintaining consistent quality, demonstrating the benefits of sustainable manufacturing in advanced profile production.
