In this paper, based on the establishment of a reasonable mechanics model for a typical draw-spinning, research on the first pass of the spinning process is carried out with an elasto-plastic FEM method. The distributions of the stress and strain are obtained under three types of roller-trace curves: straight lines. involute curves and quadratic curves. The distribution laws of the radial and tangential stress that are obtained can serve as a significant guide to determining the forming limits in multi-pass conventional spinning under different roller-traces. Comparison of the distributions of strain and stress of three roller-traces could provide a theoretical basis for selecting a reasonable roller-trace in multi-pass conventional spinning.
