Ribbed tube is a new type of nuclear fuel cladding tube. The integrated precision forming of the rib is one of the technical bottlenecks. The cold drawing process of ribbed tube was investigated by combining finite element (FE) simulation and experiment in this study, and the results show that the insufficient rib filling and useless rib groove defects are the main problems. The insufficient radial metal flow on the outer surface of the tube leads to insufficient rib filling. The rib groove defects are caused by the relatively adequate radial and circumferential metal flow on the inner surface of the tube. Further, the effect of process parameters on rib height (RH), rib groove depth (GD) and drawing force was investigated by single-pass drawing process. The RH, GD and drawing force decrease with the increase of die angle (α) and increase with the increase of the initial tube outer diameter (Di) and die groove angle (β). Increasing the initial wall thickness (Wi) can markedly reduce the GD. On these basis, a modified die with arc surface was proposed to improve the rib filling by increasing the radial metal flow. And a modified billet with special-section is used as the preform to reduce the rib groove defects. Further, the forming experiment of ribbed tube is carried out by multi-pass drawing with the above improved methods. The experimental results show that the rib filling can be significantly improved, and the rib groove can be eliminated, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
